"I owned this album (for a short period) in the 60's, and on discovering it's availability on CD ordered it Not until I replayed it after all this time did I realise I had rediscovered my personal "favourite" album of all time Incredible wailing harmonica, solid blues beat and the use of the mandolin in the blues....I know of no other blues artists to use the mandolin. "Bring it with you when you come" has to be a must listen to for any rock/blues fan The classic Bo Diddley beat in "Yes I Love You" provides a kind of hybrid respect for this talented artist "Tell Me" features what I consider to be an incongruous mixture of Honky Tonk and sensitivity, wonderful piano. Amongst my relatively large music collection, this album features a definite number one, and hopefully future Siegell-Schwall albums I purchase will feature up there with it, I'm sure they will"

"I remember too well back in 1973 when I first listened to this great fun blues album. I was working as a stereo home systems installer and salesman at Team Electronics in Missoula, Montana. These guys made it too easy on selling a stereo system thanks to the fun they created with their music. So very nice that the this music is available now!
