"This is the bluesiest album Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass ever recorded. From Blue Tag to The Shuffle Boogie Swamp Groove Blue it's a winner. My favorites are The Clarinet is Black and Blue and The Shuffle Boogie Swamp Groove Blue, which is about a twelve minute-long hammond organ feature. I have never, ever got tired of hearing this tune! It also features solos by Rob, I thing Guido and a tenor player. The tenor player almost jumps up on the bar for his solo. This album is worth the money just for this tune- but the others are winners, too. Accept no substitutes! Look for the drunk Mounty (Rob McConnell) on the cover, eh?"
