“The new club is great. They’ve really worked hard to put together something that honors the tradition of Antone’s and why it was started.”

“I want to feel like what I do is appreciated and also because it’s blues, just the idea of helping carry on that tradition.”

What we really liked about this album is the fact that Dykes pays tribute without ripping off the originals or reproducing them note-for-note. (And why should he?) The album is lively, raw, and definitely has that Texas garage jam feel, and tone. The players do a fine job of keeping you right on the edge of explosion, without betraying the raw elegance of the music. This is an exceptional album!
