"I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I do admit when you look at the consider all things, this is an enjoyable one. His voice is so expressive and the melodies so soulfulness.

"The people who dismiss the Monkees without ever having listened to them, and who refer to them derisively as a "band" (never without quotation marks), can never really be convinced of their merits. I don't have ill feelings toward these people because they had the whole media telling a story abou..." [+] Reply

"Never heard of this guy or album until I read about it in the forums on this site. That is a travesty. This is a fantastic blues album." Reply
