Dixie Frog/Voodoo Records has also licensed several other Tom Principato CD's for release to the European market. The compilation proved to be so popular that Powerhouse Records released the CD to American audiences in 1999. Songs include the Steve Earle classic "My Baby Worships Me" which features a cameo vocal duet (and a blistering harmonica solo) between Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Tom. There's also a cover of B.B. King's "Never Make Your Move Too Soon" which recieved a lot of Blues radio airplay when it was first released , as well as Tom's tribute to B.B. King "Blue Mood".There's some patented Principato roots-rockers too, such as "Call The Law" and "Try To Reach You"---all delivered with typical exhuberance and flair.For guitar fans there's the lonely and passionate "Blue Lights", "Goodbye For Now", Tom's tone poem dedicated to his late father, and his scorching rendition of Sonny Landreth's "Congo Square" (recorded before the Neville Bros. and John Mayall).
