“Hands down, this is the closest thing to the work of the old Masters that I have heard in ages. Then again, it comes as no surprise, as Johnny Nicholas has toured and recorded with a virtual “Who’s Who” of the blues including Mississippi Fred McDowell, Robert Lockwood Jr, Johnny Shines, Big Walter Horton, Roosevelt Sykes, Nathan Abshire, Robert Pete Williams, Eddie Taylor, Hound Dog Taylor, Johnny Young, Houston Stackhouse and Boogie Woogie Red… This is an album that should, if there is and justice or a God in heaven, win multiple Handy Awards. As things stand at this moment, this would be my top pick for the year. There are elements of many of Johnny’s influences on the album…but it all ties into the blues. This belongs in the collection of every music lover.”
