  • Got My Eyes on You
    author: Wendy Nelson

    For fans of harmonica - Kim Wilson is featured on 8 tracks on this lively, well-crafted album. I've played it on my harmonica radio program & will play it on air often. Great music.

  • Fantastic CD!

    I love coming to CD Baby and checking out new artists and CD's available. This CD is a "gem" in the blues realm. The songs are all great and they all have that rocking blues beat to them. I would strongly recommend this CD to everyone...you will not get tired of listening to it. Thanks.

  • A new favorite

    This CD is so great for listening and/or dancing - the musicians work together but shine individually, too. They're old enough to have lived what they play, and I can tell they're still into it. New goal - Hear this band live.

  • One of the best CDs in the last 20 years of Chicago blues

    This masterpiece sounds like it was played in a little night club back in the late 1950's or 1960's. The piano and harmonica interplay is as good as it gets! Chuck and Kim Wilson together!! Chuck really gives his band alot of space to shine here. Who else is playing Chiacgo blues piano like this anymore? His singing on the little Brother and Muddy Water's tunes show us all that Barrelhouse is the real deal. Chuck ( as he always does) pays back and salutes his friends & masters L.B.Montgomery, Sunnyland Slim, Memphis Slim, Detroit Junior, Big Moose Walker ( Barrelhouse chuck's organ B3 playing here is killer) as well as the band playing as tight as ever a band could. Kim Wilson's playing Big Walter and Little Walter and Snooky Pryor here with the piano sounds of the muddy Waters band. This cd has Grammy of the year written all over it. Thank-you The Sirens Records for this gem and for Chuck's 3rd CD on your great label. Buy this CD and tell your friends too!
