“I’ve known Jimmy Sweetwater for 35 years – met him in the dark, yet fun days of The Albion – he was our Charlie Musselwhite (whom I consider the Jimi Hendrix of the blues harmonica) – Jimmy played with Chuck Prophet, Chris Cacavas, and dozens of others – including myself. He added southern fried swamp blues to every one of our bands. Decades later – turns out he’s also an entertaining singer/songwriter as well. This is the most unpretentious album I’ve ever heard. If you don’t love it – you’re a humorless jerk.” – Pat Thomas
