Imagine merging the sounds of Robin Trower with Buddy Guy and Joe Bonamassa. You would probably come up with something very close to this song. It’s a driving guitar blues jam that is very cool. It’s also a great way to start things in style. This is a cover of a song by Albert King.

Here we get a smoking hot rendition of the Fleetwood Mac classic. I like the instrumental sections here a lot, but the vocal ones seem to be lacking a little something for me. The guitar solo is tasty.

The traditional guitar blues vibe on this thing is so cool. This is just such a tasty romp. This is exactly what blues should be like from my point of view. Then again, it was originally done by Willie Dixon, and you can’t get much more legit than that.

Here he turns his attention to a Blackfoot song. More classy blues, this isn’t a big change, but when it’s this good, who cares?

I really love the guitar soloing on this thing. The tune isn’t a large departure, but it’s effective guitar blues. This one comes from the catalog of the King of the blues, B. B. King.

A piano based ballad, I don’t really care for this one. It leans on pop music and singer-songwriter stylings. If there’s a song to skip here, this is definitely it. It leans heavily on country music. This was originally recorded by another country artist, John Berry.

This classic tune gets a smoking hot blues rock rendition here. This thing isn’t packed with any surprises. It is loaded with passion and style, though. The tune was originally done by Don Nix, but has been covered quite a bit over the years.

Here’s another vintage classic. This time it comes from Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. This one stretches a little from its origins, while still capturing a lot of the magic of the original version.

Here we get a cover of the Canned Heat classic. This one brings some freshness while still preserving a lot of the nature of the classic rendition.

Here we get another cover of a classic tune. This gets brought more toward pure blues, pulling it closer to Robert Johnson’s original take than renditions like Cream’s that lean more toward the rock end. That said, it sort of lands somewhere between those two concepts. 

The harmonica brings its own charms to this number. I dig the piano, too. This is a classy traditional blues romp. It’s a cover of another Willie Dixon tune.

This Hank Williams, Jr. cut is more of a country ballad. It’s not terrible, but it’s not near the level of the bulk of the album. I think I might have left this one off. The previous tune would have been a stronger closer.
