"An understated disc from the veteran bluesrocker. Much more introspective, although his earlier disc True Stories and his work with the Cate Brothers hinted at this direction. Country,Rock, Surf Rock, with not a whole lotta blues. One of, if not THE most dynamic live performers of his generation has the right at this stage of his long career to make music that pleases himself. Vocals have never been his strong suit and this is a singer songwriter disc. "Just a Feeling" percolates and the surf instrumental "Landlocked" sounds like old school Jimmy. Good solid work without the usual fiery guitar prowess."
Jimmy re-invents himselfs!!!

"Jimmy brings out the sun everytime when he produces a new record. This is surely one of his best records ever!!!!
It's a mix of very well chosen songs. This cd is so well balanced it almost hurts. The songs are very well written and sung! The song "Blinking Of A eye" is very moving. This is a "Once heard never to be forgotten" song.
The guitar sound on his very first cd's of Jimmy with the Drivers is present and kicks you out of your seat!
WARNING: Don't play this cd in your car, you'll be over the speed limit in no time.

"If you not familiar with Jimmy Thackery let me give you some advice you can take to the bank... his best cd's are his first two.. Empty Arms Motel and Trouble Man. Both of these cd's are better tahn anything else he released. It's too bad because the above mentioned cd's are great examples of modern blues rock."
