Jimmy D. Lane is a true bluesman of the 90's and 00's. He's not an old fart but a "young" bluesmusician with the right knowledge and feeling for the blues. Maybe because he's father was the very well known bluesman Jimmy Rogers (1924-1997). The thythmsection of bass and drums consists of Stevie Ray Vaughan's (1954-1990) band and that can be heard on the album. They really play solid and with great feeling and knows haw to support a player like Lane. The production is clear and goodsounding and it's wonderful to hear every note in Lane's guitarpicking. The mix of different musicstyles is also a good thing with the album and I really like the deep vocals from Lane. It can sometimes be a little too mellow and soft and I loose intresest here and there but the good bluessongs are really good, it's Chicagoblues at good quality!

Tommy Shannon played with Johnny Winter in the late 60's and with S.R Vaughan 1980-1990. Later he played with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Little Richard but to name a few. Shannon and bassist Chris Layton has played together with many of these artists.

Mike Finnegan has played with many many wellknown artists like Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Etta James, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, Cher and Rod Stewart.
