CD ReviewsIt doesn't get any better than this Victoria L. Givens | 03/25/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Forget genres - but if you must categorize, think Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding. This music has bounce, slyness, intelligence, heart, grit, subtlety AND drive. The guitar-driven arrangements remind you that Chicago-style blues is a basic classical tradition. But this isn't blues. Nor is it a tour around the museum for oldies fans. Check out "Mustang Sally" - as fresh and punchy and sexy as if it were written yesterday, but unmistakeably the same song Wilson Pickett sang a generation ago. What I am groping for is a way to communicate just how much life there is in this music, and how connected it is to the traditions it springs from and revivifies. Sometimes I listen to Beethoven's late string quartets, and sometimes I listen to this. They come from the same deep place. I'd have to say that Mack Rice is better for dancing, though." Quite a recording Steve R. Vinson | Alabama, USA | 10/07/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Hard to say who influences who but this recording is great with definite inspiration from the Stones, Pickett, and many others. Very enjoyable listening, very good production/engineering qualities, and some very fine musicianship. Sir Mack Rice never really made the big time, other than writing the classic Mustang Sally, but he sures deserves wider recognition."
