"but not great either. A couple of excellent songs mixed in with a lot of average ones. Boogie Man is a standout. Don't get me wrong, this is a good album, just not great. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could."
Omar is howling!

"Ya gotta love this guy. We caught him for the first time here in Dallas (actually Arlington), last October when he played at the annual SRV Memorial Ride (being as SRV was from Dallas, it's a BIG Deal here eh).
He and the Howlers blew us away.
And this CD sounds exactly how they do on stage in front of several hundred, well on their way to being drunk/rowdy, bikers. I'd heard of O&TH but never seen/heard them myself. WOW...we will definitely be looking for them again.
What's nice about this CD is that it's a really solid sample of their style and technically, the CD is really well mastered. Difficult to believe it's a "live" recording at times...a couple of the songs were a tad muddy and I chalk that up to (again) being live but overall, top notch and I still give it a 5 on content and recording. Omar's GREAT and if you're a fan of this genre, then you owe it to yourself to check them out."
