"Whew. This is it: the unadulterated, paint-peeling, whupass blues I've been craving. Don't miss this one... it'll make a greasy Mississippi-August sweat break out all over your body even if you're in Minneapolis. Paul Jones is the real, real deal.Maggie Mortensen, Executive DirectorBlues Music Association"
Fish fry blues

"Paul "Wine" Jones, who just succumbed to cancer, could party on the strings like nobody's business, while putting down his life's experiences in lively Northern Mississippi style. His fingerwork was mesmerizing, with a circular hypnotic approach to melody development all of his own. As a performer his style of dress and manner was always gentlemanly, which made his visceral blues even more profound and memorable. This may be his last studio recording, but hopefully Fat Possum has some live stuff in the bag for later."

"This has to be one of the rawist Blues album fat possum has ever done. Some of the trackes like "Roll That Woman" and the Title track rival R.L. Burnside's A Ass Pocket Of Wiskey in there rawness. Even the remix "goin' back home" is good. Plus Paul Jones even playes Acoustic on some of the tracks. The funny thing is the review only gives it 2 & 1/2 stars! It deffinately diserves more. Paul's guitar sound and eratic phrasing are simmilar in many ways to T-Modile Ford, exept Paul has a better voice than Ford. So If you like T-modil Ford, R.L. Burnside or just raw blues in general than this is for you. By the way the reason Paul Jones doesn't go as Paul "Wine" Jones is because he gave up drinking."
