Here the Allstars are getting back to basics, after a badly cluttered album (Electric Blue Watermelon) that was weighed down by too many guest stars having an unfocused and inefficient party. Hernando returns us to the mean swamp blues as delivered by just the Dickinson Brothers and Chris Chew, with help from only a couple of guest singers and with East Memphis Slim occasionally chipping in on piano. This has encouraged the three Allstars to focus their attack, in the process creating some of their heaviest and lowdownest grooves yet. Longtime fans will be pleasantly surprised by the sinister swampfests in "Keep the Devil Down" and "Rooster's Blues," while the band has significantly darkened their lyrical outlook in "Soldier" and "Long Way from Home." But rest assured that there is some fun on this album as well, with a joyous carnival dance vibe in "Mizzip" and a rollicking rave-up in "Blow Out." Here the Allstars show us what they're really good at - lean and mean southern blues rock with a minimum of adornments. The nastier, the better... and here we have the Allstars at their nastiest and best.
