We ve added a couple of bonus tracks (I ll See You in My Dreams/Mr. Sandman and That Same Old Train) to this modern blues masterpiece from the New Orleans blues legend, too. The complete 1992 release (and more)! |
CD ReviewsFresh, Highly Recommended Bowiebuff | SC | 04/16/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had heard a lot about Snooks and never checked him out, so being a hardcore blues fan, I picked this up. WOW what an exuberant, soulful, just amazing album. Snooks's vocals are perfect for nearly every track, and his guitar playing is out of this world. Though some of the songs are covers of familiar classics (such as Dizz Miss Lizzy), they are done so well that in some cases they are perhaps the best versions of the songs. There's not a weak moment on the album, and it rewards multiple listens. It's hard to cite a highlight since the it is of such uniform high quality, but if I had to I'd say they are the funky "Soul Train," groovin' "teasin you" and purely joyful "jesus will fix it for you." What a treat this is... if you haven't heard any Snooks, please check him out... it's great to know we have a couple of great ones left like him in the blues world, and I don't even know that his greatness is truly appreciated. This man is a treasure."
