It's a nice thought that a new blues label like BLUES MATTERS! can spring into life with innovative product of this quality. Its even nicer to think that a man who learnt his craft, not only as a physician, but as a guitarist, did so in a part of the world as far removed from Memphis and Chicago as you could get. The Mississippi Delta might be a place on the map, but it is also very portable state of mind. So, you've exercised your curiosity and taste well in picking up this particular pressing. And when you crank up the volume, as you inevitably will, don't worry about your health, its always nice to know there's a Doctor in the house...

Here we have a man who has not only played with B.B King and Jimmy Smith, he's also a name on the rave club scene in a different context, sharing the stage with UK's top DJs...
is there no end to this mans versatility? Listening to this CD the answer seems to be in negative! This is a top class, eclectic musicianship with wide range of stylistic influences, but true Blues is always at the core, well produced and excellently played. If they're half as good as this live... somebody get me a ticket please!!...
