Comments

After a break regarding time issues, I finally got around to listening to this album.

Pretty great album, alot of traditional Blues aspects, but with a much happier and upbeat tone.

Now, Usually I'd berate the vocals, comparing them to the fantastic instrumentals, but,

I really loved the vocals.

The vocalists completely made this album. The instrumentals got kind of boring, but the vocals really sold it to me. "Thank You Mr. Poobah" was purely instrumentals, much to my displeasure, but "Look Over Yonders Wall" had the real passion behind vocals that Blues gets to know and love.
