Anticipated 2nd release of livewire dance music from this powerhouse quintet of veteran sidemen for Etta James, Big Joe Turner, Dr. John, La Vern Baker, Bo Diddley, Huey Lewis, etc. Take a cruise through American roots music: New Orleans-flavored R & B, jump-blues, essential rock & roll, rockabilly, and funk. Tim Eschliman, Rob Sudduth, Jimmy Sanchez, Steve Lucky, Caroline Dahl & Stevie Gurr. Special guests include Ziggy Modeliste (drums on 3 cuts) and Ed Earley. "Comprised of veteran R&B sideman, RJ comes out blazin' on their second release. With a core group and a host of other guest artists, the rockin' and swingin' that these guys lay down is traveling first class. Solid music skills mixed with a variety of musical styles gives this CD some time on your player. Much of the music has a nice groovin 'feel to it, not rushed and true to its origins. Based in roots music, RJs performance of both originals and covers on this CD work well together. Overall a strong performance, somewhat adventurous and mixes their obvious talent with their strong musical interests. Nice project of R&B, swing, funk and house rock blues music." -Steve Sarkoivsky, Victory Review

'This American roots combo is comprised of talented San Francisco Bay Area musicians who know how to raise the energy level on the dance floor. They perform forties and fifties-inspired rhythm and blues, some jump blues, a boogie woogie, and a hefty dose of New Orleans style music, with refreshing, not rehashed, arrangements. This is their second CD. The album has several instrumentals as well as vocal numbers, which is a nice contrast. The lead vocalist and producer, Tim Eschliman, wrote five originals on the album, including three with their infectious New Orleans sound. !he group plays many exciting, high-energy tunes with their own flair. Rob Sudduth, the sax player, gets a workout playing rhythm as well as long, melodic solos. The few slower tunes on the album have an interesting, easy, mellow flow to them. There are several guests on the album, including drummer Ziggy Modeliste of the Meters. This album presents the energizing essence of the R&B era of the forties and fifties and the New Orleans sound in an exciting new way. It would be hard to resist dancing on this one.' - Maria Bainer, January, 1995
