Smokey Wilson has been away from the recording studio for a few years due to a series of strokes. Luckily for us, Andy Talamantez recorded Smokey just before the strokes, and this cd is the result of those sessions. Raw & intense has always been a trademark of the Wilson credo and this cd delivers the goods. Screaming guitar, funky beats, raw edged vocals...all the things Smokey Wilson does best. Given the state of blues today, this is a good thing.................
