"I seem to have forgotten where the "Stop" button is on my CD player since I got this album from my mailbox yesterday. Kelly Richey and her band deliver pure and raw "reach-inside-and-grab-your-guts-and-throw-your-head-back-and-grooooooooove" throaty blues with an electric guitar that will play your spine like a xylophone...SIMPLY SPECTACULAR! As if her original work on the album isn't enough of an elixir for the gritty-blues-lover in all of us, her covers of "Crossroads" and "All Along The Watchtower" will leave you thinking "Wow...that song can do THAT??". I reviewed the other Reviews while trying to decide one way or the other to "commit" to this one. If you're reading this for the same purpose...DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND ORDER THIS ALBUM NOW! In the meantime, I suppose I'll find my "Stop" button on the CD player, eventually, but I sure ain't searchin' too hard for it."

"Kelly Richey is a Cincinnati based blues guitar player who plays the living stuff out of the poor thing. She draws heavily on Hendrix, and sounds as though she's channeling Stevie Ray Vaughan. Tight, hard-hitting blues. A few acoustic blues provide a lighter touch in the middle of the album, before she concludes with Watchtower & Crossroads. She is also a first rate songwriter."
