"I just stumbled across this listening to FAT Music Radio on the web (check it out!), looked it up on Amazon and bought the download album. I can't believe there are no reviews on this album, I am in no way qualified to write one, I am sure there will shortly be superlative and erudite reviews for The Mannish Boys here. But this album just knocked me out. It put a bolt through me; like the first time I heard Led Zeppelin (hey it was my first introduction to the 'blues'). This band originates from the same classic roots influences of course but they have completely mastered the forms like no else I've heard. Every one of these 17, count-em, 17 tracks is a modern hip masterpiece of the rhythm and blues yet also as timeless and as authentic as the classic works of the generations of our great and obscure blues artists who have been gone for these many, many years. I am thrilled to have found this band.
If you groove to this you will want to check out this great band as well:
