The Hustle Is On - Excellent guitar solo, really tastefully done in the T-Bone style.

Standing On A Corner - Vocals have lots of feeling. Very dynamic and good piano solo.

Sweet Dough Baker - Nice to hear some harp. Very tastefully done, I like your guitarist a lot.

Don't Treat Me Like That - Song grooves well with bass and drums feeling very good.

Oh My - Excellent guitar and some swinging playing. If I were a dancer, I'd dance to this one.

Rack 'Em Up - Some fine harp playing here with good melodicism and plenty of confidence.

Please Love Me - I like your vocal attitude and the guitarist's dirtier tone and good attack.

Tenor Madness - Gotta love Gordon and everyone solos really well.

I Wonder Why - Done with excellent taste and good passion. What's not to like?

One Thing Mama - Another strong harp showcase with an attractive vibrato on the vocals.
