Duke has admitted that his concept for this album was to make a straight vintage style blues album: danceable rhythms, no hook-laden songs? basically a blues party album.

As always, the music is impeccable, classy and powerful.

Two stellar horn sections, searing guitar and organ solos, boogie woogie piano and guest vocalists Chris Cote and Michelle Willson.
