Guitar-meister Taft seamlessly blends his axe-wielding prowess with an undeniable knack for crafting songs individual in character.  This makes for a set where each track stands out from its predecessor while providing a solid vehicle for Mr. Taft’s formidable fretboard assaults.  In addition to the title track, strong work here includes “Lonesome Memphis Blues”, “Space Cake”, and a classic piece of power blues struttin’ on the sole cover, Johnny Winter’s “Leland Mississippi Blues”.  Backup is tough and solid throughout.
