"I've owned this amazing recording on vinyl for years. This is one incredible record. Everything is in the soup. Jazz guitarist Eddie Fisher defies description. On the first track Jeremiah Pucket Fisher gives you what can only be described as jazz with a little acid and alot of funk. This should be all over the airwaves. Its too damn good. Land Of Our Father is more jazzy with some spicy guitar licks and some smooth hammond organ. But what makes this CD really hot is Beautiful Things. A 12 minute smoker that incorporates jazz with classical violin and wah wah guitar licks. Somebody pinch me because this is one delicious record. If you can find it I would also recommend Eddie's first Album, The Third Cup". I'd give it 6 stars. After all these years it stills sounds fresh."
Nice playing, lousy mastering.

"The cover art is what hit me in the alleys of the Jazz Record Mart as I stared at the huge poster @ the checkout. Very cool. It had that 70s, afro-funky, 'Shuggy Otis' feel to it. Never heard of this guy before, nor had the store clerk. Not a big blues fan (as could be mistaken from the cover and the period), so waited to read reviews here and then buy it. Great playing for sure, in fact somewhat a mix of Shuggy and Carlos, but someone needs to shoot that engineer who supposedly 'remasetred' this. The bass is hardly audible and everything sounds mucky. I'm sure the sound roars on LP. Never heard it more than twice, despite some good playing, thanks to the poor audio.....and that's a shame."
