"This CD sparkles from beginning to end. BB gets to show off his incredible voice as well as his tasty upfront guitar picking all the way through. The songs too are memorable. Particularly check out 'Back in L.A.', 'The Blues come over me' and the great Doc Pomus title track that continues to move me after 12 years of owning this album."
AWESOME!!!! An unknown pearl

"This album is excellent!!! It really shows BB's true greatness and versatility. It is a mix of blues and rock with great vocals
and lyrics. These songs move you. Some are footstomping and upbeat and others very poigntant. You can't help but sing along.
The guitar playing of course is great. "The Blues come over me" is awesome. ALL songs are great. A truly fantastic album.
A must but. ENJOY!!!!"

"I've heard a lot of music over the years, and I've bought a lot of music. I can't say if this is his best, I haven't heard everything he's done, but this is one of the best recordings I've ever heard, of any genre of music.
He feels this music, and what's more he made music he liked. At least that is what comes across. I love and admire this effort."
Powerful...gotta do the time to pick up the dime!

"Sounding incredibly fresh,the King returned in 1991 with an exceptional album that blended his trademark genre with soul and gospel.Real to life lyrics and great grooves complement this cross-over album proving that sometimes old dogs can learn new tricks and thus expand their audience.Featuring an excellently crisp production, this record is a must for any serious blues aficionado."
The title song is as emotional as Bethoven's 9th Symphony

"As BB said, this is his best. Truely great performance by an awesome voice. "There is Always One More Time" evokes an overwhelming emotion. I'm buying copies for our four children just for this track."
