"As a fan of blues and blues-based music, I have been listening to Duke Tumatoe for nearly 15 years. This is the essential album from a quintessential performer of rollicking, fun, barroom blues. Every cut on this album is a hit, from the elemental "Sweet Home Chicago" to such great Duke-isms as "Bar-B-Cue" and "If I Hadn't Been High". Anyone who goes to see a Duke Tumatoe show comes away happy and this live album completely captures that spirit. I highly recommend this purchase!"
