After recent, lugubrious attempts at pop, jazz and big band music, Robillard is back doing what he does best—playing and singing the blues. Many of the tunes here will remind you of his old band, Roomful of Blues (several Roomful alumni are present here), as the sound is inspired by late 1940s and early 1950s R&B. The self-composed title track has T-Bone Walker stamped all over it, as Robillard recycles many of Walker’s signature guitar licks. Although Walker’s influence is prevalent throughout, Robillard also pays tribute to Johnny “Guitar” Watson on “Three Hours Past Midnight,” Lowell Fulson on “Do Me Right” and Ike Turner on “Tore Up.” There’s a local connection as Robillard covers Paul Gayten’s “For You My Love.” A fat, four-piece horn section provides strong backup and Sunny Crownover helps on vocals, but this is most definitely a guitarist’s album.
