As the title says, this is a Blues party, a midnight-to-dawn
shebang with plenty of liquor, sandwiches, chicken, beer, and
cigarette smoke clouding the room. A wild CD ride that will
light up backyard barbecues given by the geritol set and Blues
lovers of all ages. The best performances are too numerous to list.
These tracks will make even the musically dead rock their shoulders
like robots. You may need to take a break after listening to about
five of these ruthless juke joints in a row, as there is no letup
from track one to track 27; even the slow-rollers are sobering and
could double as wake-up calls. As essential as water for jump Blues
lovers'. - Andrew Hamilton
