"Jimmy Burn's sophomore release in many ways surpasses his debut "Leaving Here Walking". While "Leaving Here..." was an excellent traditional blues release, "Night Time Again" expands the horizon with a mixture of Blues, Rock, and 50's style R&B. Stylistically, Burns sounds a bit like a matured Robert Cray, although his playing is not to Cray's caliber. With 10 original tunes and covers of Willie Dixon's "Shake For Me", Curtis Mayfield's "Monkey Time" and Lowman Pauling's "Baby Don't Do It" and "Two Much Loving", this CD is definetly something to hear. Perhaps a little more diverse than "Leaving Here...", but it works successfully just the same. Essentially, you can't miss with either disc."

Good, Fun Honky-Tonk Blues!

"This is an example of what I call 'good-time blues' -- mostly upbeat, rockin' tunes with an strong undercurrent of soul. Fun, toe-tapping music that anyone but the sourest grinch should enjoy! 'Shake for Me' is especially enjoyable. You won't go wrong with this one!"
