Customer Reviews
More than just blues guitar
This is a great album with stunning vocal performances by Odetta, Dr. John and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. This is real, deeply felt blues with no just going through the motions. As usual for Justice, the recording quality is top drawer, with several cuts ranking with "audiophile" style recordings, but with good, solid music.

Must own- nearly a 5
A couple dud tracks keep this from being a 5, but the good tracks are great.
The version of Nice and Warm Tab Benoit laid down for this is better than the original release, and as close to live as you'll get, and Clarence Gatemouth Brown will raise the hair on the back of your neck with The Drifter.
Interspersed between some serious blues is some more folksy stuff and some nice piano work from Dr. John, but the whole album works very well as a whole for a collaboration. In time, you'll find that the powerful Brother Can You Spare a Dime is as much a favorite as the more raucus, gritty work by Benoit and Gatemouth. The samples selected to listen to don't really convey how good this album is.
As I type this there are used copies for $2.99- buy one already.
