Great Slide

"I love this album particularly for the great slide guitar of Lil' Ed. The slow blues 'Living for today' is one of my favourite tracks ever. The other slow blues 'Older Woman' and 'Long, Long Way from home' are almost as good. The upbeat tracks are generally great fun and get the feet moving. The album almost has a live feel."

What You See is What You Get, my review from Barcelona

"'What you see is what you get" simply a fantastic record, Lil Ed who was a nephew and very worthy successor of the brilliant J.B.HUTTO and also follower of the ways of the not less genial HOUND "Dog" TAYLOR nowadays is one of the main craftsman of Chicago Blues and the Blues in general. With respect to this wonderful record all songs shine at a same level although for me the three slow Blues "Older woman", "Living room for today", "Long long way from home" and the song which gives the title to the record "What you see is what you get" they seem me really fascinating, by the way this last jump blues which gives the title to the record could have called "What you hear is what you get" and it have been likewise very good. Well, coming to the point a record for my between 4 and 4,5 stars, first class Blues, highly recommended."

Lil'Ed continuous good job!
