This is Roy Buchanan's third album since he burst back on the national scene with the Grammy nominated When A Guitar Plays The Blues. As with his first two Alligator releases, Roy used this opportunity to bring together some of the finest rock 'n' blues musicians in the country to form one great studio band.

 

Donald Kinsey worked with Albert King and Bob Marley before putting together The Kinsey Report with his brothers in Gary, Indiana. Stan Szelest played with Ronnie Hawkins and Lonnie Mack before forming his own band in Buffalo. Larry Exum is one of Chicago's top blues bassmen, touring with the Jimmy Johnson Band. Morris Jennings has drummed on everything from Howlin' Wolf records to Coke commercials. All four powered Roy's second Alligator album, Dancing On The Edge.

 

Joining Roy and the band are two of the Windy City's most soulful vocalists. Johnny Sayles has been belting out raw R&B for over twenty years. Kanika Kress is a new face on the Chicago blues scene, leading her own band, The Blues Express.

 

Guitar Magazine calls Roy "a revered guitarist who builds whirlwind solos with the ease and sweaty grace of a master." And Roy calls this album "my best one yet."
