Get your big boy britches on
Uncle Tony | Virginia | 02/24/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the genuine article. You can get a thesaurus out and find all the superlatives you want. But not as many as you'll need. Musicians today spend months and thousands of dollars to try and produce something this profound. And Lightnin came in sat down and knocked it out. Live too. It's raw and intimate. It's the blues."
