"This man is such an expert at playing the blues. I've been into Rick right from the start. I guess i was so lucky that the record companies in Australia back in Ricks early days carried his offerings.

I have everything he's put out. and I'm always looking forward to his new releases.

I find being a security guard and doing long 12 hour shifts at night sitting in my vehicle, I can bring along his cds and listen to some great music.

"One of Derringers better output of the blues he has put out.

Not quite as good as Jackhammer Blues or Blues Deluxe, but one of

his best. When you can play the Blues like Mr. Derringer, pretty much

anything you put out is great. When he played with Johnny Winters, those

were his best years, two of the best guitarists ripping it up. It starts off with "Mess around", a fast bluesy tune, one of the best tunes on this cd is where he does an excellent version of Mr. Hendrix's "If 6 were 9".

The title track-"Knighted by the Blues" is an excellent slow bluesy tune on this cd. Cat on a hot tin roof, another old classic tune that Derringer turns into an excellent blues/jazz jam. It finishes with Funny I still Love you so, another great slow blues number by Derringer. Most of these tunes were written by Derringer & his Wife Jenda."
