about

Aha - the rock and roll country blues still lives! Ha! Everything gets off to a good start with the funky "Honey Bee" and "Easy Again", where a sharp acoustic and a warbling organ (Joe Krown) float beneath Jethro's vocals like a song floating from the doors of a New Orleans barrelhouse joint. On this and other songs like "Blazin' Sun Blues", Jethro comes across sort of like early Dylan minus the cryptic, apocalyptic rider-of-doom mumbo-jumbo...with a bit o' Robert Johnson thrown in for good measure, maybe. Unlike thoses two gloomy guys, though, Jerthro's pretty upbeat and his band is certainly energetic enough to keep things jumping. "Blessing in Disguise" even has a juke-joint jumpiness to it (and there's that warbling organ again -- suave.)
It all drops down into a slower groove on the moody, soulful "Down in New Orleans," a groove that is matched a bit later o "Responsibility," where an understated beat (Willie Panker) and a rumbling bass (Tim Paco) provide the perfect backdrop for searching vocals and lonesome slide guitar. The rock and roll returns with the "The Living Ways," but it's the stoned soul sixites groove of "Reflection of Ambition," that really forms the core of the album. The whole album has a loose, off-the -cuff live feel without falling into sloppiness; it's the working man's document of what is probably a tremendous live act. Very sharp, very personable, very real. A vocie to listen for when the sun goes down and the barroom doors begin to open... (Dead Angel Magazine 1996)
