“...the real highpoint of this album is the high-energy exchanges between Douglas' guitar and vocals and the spirited harmonica playing of Richard Riggins. It's old time country blues ‚ guitar, harmonica bass and drums ‚ that on songs like his covers of Tommy Johnson's 'Canned Heat' and 'Catfish Blues,' give testimony to the accomplishments of a very talented, and much underappreciated, blues artist.”
-Kirk Robertson, Lahontan Valley News/Fallon Eagle Standard
