Well I had noticed that this was regularly on Grants air-waves and it piqued my interest knowing he is a bit of Blues aficionado. Without any sneak listens online I took the plunge and ordered a copy all the way from Australia, and it was reasonably priced including post. Unfortunately the 1st copy arrived looking like a banana, I suspect sat in the sun waiting for a plane, so I sent pics and they apologised and immediately sent another, I think it actually may have come from the artist office looking at the receipt.
So how is it? It is quite a treat! Recorded live in 2 days using just using 2 mics and a two track Ampex 351 tape machine, no overdubbing, with the band positioned around them to get the right mix and levels. It really is not what I expected from an Australian blues singer and guitarist, the way he plays, sings and presents the songs invoke the feeling of a much older blues singer, it really feels your being transported back to an classic 30's/40's blues experience, or earlier on some of the songs even though on this album he is using his Fender Jazzmaster electric guitar. Some songs have a rock n' roll feel but are still very bluesy. A brilliant album IMO.

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
