Here is an album that should seduce most lovers of good old Chicago blues. The rhythm section is tight, no frills and very minimal in its backing of a lazy harmonica style. Jim Liban switches easily from a green bullet sound to an acoustic sound and from hand effects to horn section style octave slaps. Jim has certainly digested his Sonny Boy, Junior Wells and Little Walter influences. The production is good, and the album includes plenty of self-penned songs and the rest are well-chosen covers, including a great version of the famous " Mean Old World ". This is a very nice album; if you don`t know Jim Liban yet, this is the way to start doing so.
