  • Great collection of moving, groovin' blues songs.
    author: Amy Gannon

    Great collection of moving, groovin' blues songs. The band is dynamic with an excellent mix of guitar, base, horns, keyboard and vocals. I have listened over and over and each time find myself wanting to go back for more. If you are looking for hot, movin' blues tunes, this is your CD.

  • Full Range of Great Blues
    author: Elwood

    Michael Barclay shows great range from slide ("Drivin' 95 Blues") to texas shuffle. I especially loved "Redheaded Woman" which picks up where Stevie Ray left off, and the jazzy "Dark Night" and classic blues in "Louise". There's great guitar rifts in every track not to mention sugar on top harmonica in "I Refuse" and ideal companion of Sax in "Gimme a Break". The production quality is great and the accompanyment is flawless. I'm sure the band is great live, but it's hard to fit all the instruments in the car when you're drivin' 95 down the road!

  • Michael sounds great.
    author: Keith Ridenhour

    CD was fine but if you have a chance to hear Michael in person do so. The live music is 20 times better than the CD. I was disappointed to not hear more of the sax player, Roger Volz. I'll just have to go hear them live again and buy the next CD. K
