Debut rockin' jumpin' tribute to Rhythm & blues vinyl by these "Contemporary masters of the jump-blues tradition." The cover alone is well worth the price, has all bases covered in the area of good time, jumping R&B with moody sax instrumentals, swing, New Orlenas funk, calypso and rockabilly. The players on this album have deep, impressive credits before and after this album was released. Tim Eschliman (Etta James, Commander Cody Band, Jesse Colin Young), John Firmin (later to create and lead the Johnny Nocturne Band, whose namesake song is included here), Kevin Zuffi (Joe Louis Walker & the Bosstalkers, Earl King), Jimmy Sanchez (Queen Ida), Jerry Cortez (Towwer of Power) with guests Lee Allen (Little Richard), Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry for 4 decades), Bill Campbell (Boz Scaggs, Delbert McClinton) & Danny Caron (Charles Brown), G. G. Gonoway (Mariah Carey), Stevie Gurr (Dr. John), John Boerstler, Danny Bittker (Johnny Nocturne Band) and Terry Baker. Includes originals, like the neo-rockabilly classic, "All Tore Up" (Roadhouse 66) and the covers of Lee Allen's smokin' New Orleans R&B sax instrumental "Boppin' At The Hop" and Louis Prima's jump-swing anthem & set-closer, "Jump, Jive & Wail". “All experienced players thoroughly grounded in the sometimes elusive ways to establish and maintain a smooth groove...has all of the bases covered in the area of good time, jumping rhythm & blues." "a shoutin' and honkin' jump-jive...a swingin' affair." "...the powerhouse quintet, takes a cruise through New Orleans-flavored R&B, Louis Jordan jump-swing and sensitive ballads with honking sax, clean guitar and tinkling piano, proving that live excitement can be waxed..."
