CD Reviews
Ronnie is the earl of guitar
W. Landis | des moines, iowa | 04/05/2008

"this cd starts out with one of the best ronnie instrumentals - backstroke. it is hot, great riffs, jumping right in. it also sets the tone for this smoking cd. ronnie is one of the best, and when he focuses on the blues there aren't too many that can touch him. ronnie tosses in tasty instrumentals. all tracks - great! add it and enjoy it, again and and again."
HepCat is at it again!

"Hooray for HepCat for creating brand new editions of Ronnie Earl's early discography with the Broadcasters! I am very satisfied with the quality of the disc and the beautiful packaging, including current reviews added to the original liner notes. This purchase has exceeded my expectations."
None Better Than Ronnie Earl!

"There are few guitarists that play with the intensity of Ronnie Earl and that could not be more evident than on this release. Even the slow burners "Blues For Bone" and "Sufferin'" are full of outstanding riffs played straight from the heart. Couple that with the addition of harp player Jerry Portnoy who served up a six year stint in the Muddy Water's band and the soulful vocals of Darrell Nulisch and you have all of the ingredients for a really good blues CD."
Mr. Earl's most soulful blacktop release.
