   Oh yeah, this was a great album. I bought it on cassette. Put it in the tape player in my car and didn’t take it out for about three months. Great performances and great vibe all over this one.

   Shure brings back memories. My kid brother bought this record and we were both shocked and even more touched by the blues. Such powerful songs on this record..

   I believe Gatemouth Brown passed on this project because Gate insisted on using his band. So Robert Cray got the call… and it won a grammy.
