HIS BEST ONE YET
Avalon Don | Huntington Beach, California United States | 03/20/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"James Harman in the studio is one the best singer/harmonica players in the business. He knows the difference between playing live and making an album. His cd's have themes or concepts like a motel "Do Not Disturb" and barbecue "Extra Napkins". "Taking Chances" about gambling is his best one yet. It has great sound quality and variety with solid backing musicians. "Crapshoot" a driving/dancing song is the highlight of many with that tough harp that's all James. The packaging which has pictures of everything from dice to lucky dogs adds to the mixture. Thank You.baby!

"This record is not a surprise to all of James's and all blues fans!! Will all know that James is one of the best doing what he does. This record brings out what James does in his live show. Kid Ramos does his thing on "Read My Mind". The record sound is awsome.. The engineering so well done. Jerry Hall Always does his job. If You Like This Record check out the new release distributed on Hepcat Records. Mannie & The Swingin'Hipshakers, which also has Kid Ramos, Lynwood Slim,Jerry Hall and Otis Grand all as special guests....Big Art Mak"
