Featured guitarists and vocalists include Eri...	Country Ghetto Within the soul-drenched music of northern Florida's JJ Grey and band, the roots run as deep as the influences are indelible. "War" and "By My Side" sound like Southern-fried Sly and the Family Stone. "Turpentine" recalls the swamp funk of Tony Joe White. Both "A Woman" and "Th...	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)/ (CD/DVD) This "back-to-the-roots" road-trip documentary CD/DVD from blues-rocking guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd can be viewed in two ways--it's either the culmination of a long-held desire to promote and play with some unheralded blues veterans before they pass away (as six had already d...

On the Jimmy Reed Highway "Big boss man is still the man today," growls Omar Dykes on one of just two non-Jimmy Reed covers from a rare release without his Howlers band. That handily sums up this roaring and impassioned tribute to one of the most vital, influential, yet often unheralded figures in blues. ...	Power of the Pontchartrain Tab Benoit's album titles leave little doubt as to where he's from or the music he plays.

WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you're reading these reviews, please listen to the samples and check out their website. The Rounder's sound is a great mix of styles. Some similarity to a mix of Cream and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Every song is catchy and upbeat. I only hope they build on this great CD and get some well deserved air play.

I just bought this cd today and I've already listened to it all the way through a handful of times. It reminds me of recent Clutch cds like Robot Hive/Exodus. It bears an even closer resemblance to Clutch's currently unreleased From Beale Street to Oblivion. Clutch is my favorite band and I can't think of a higher compliment of them than to say they remind me of Clutch. It is hardly a carbon copy of Clutch though. It is a very unique effort. It really is an amazing cd. I can't wait to listen to it when I have time to dissect it. I say buy it if you can.

Wow...all I can say is wow....
I am a musicologist by trade, and when I heard this disc my jaw dropped to the floor!!! These five young men seamlessly integrate virtually every important genre of American music into a rich tapestry that is both interesting and unique. If you buy one album this month; heck, this year, buy this one. You will not regret a single moment on this 13 song masterpiece!!!
