Texas blues, straight from the roadhouses and dancehalls. Back in the day, you had to be out in the middle of farm country on a Saturday night to hear anything like this; dirt parking lots full of pickup trucks and 18 wheelers; it's the real deal. "The never ending search for authenticity. Some musicians do it and some just don’t. Jeff Michaels does it and consequently effortlessly captures that old time feel good groove. That makes his ten songs and twelve bars fine places to visit for, to paraphrase a blues standard, he sounds like he lives the life he loves and loves the life he lives. His electric guitar is always to the fore and he uses it wisely to reinforce the lyrics, as in “Riverside”, and also to start a sonic fire, as in the solidly rocking “Texas Sky”. Talking of the lyrics, Jeff Michaels is blue collar all the way with each song being practically an ode to the woes of the common man and, perhaps in consequence, this album makes it seem like every night is shaping up to be Friday night."
