First-rate, contemporary Texas shuffle and blues with tasteful, biting guitar comes from Funderburgh and great vocals and harp from Mississippian Sam Myers. This is their most varied and ambitious release to date (the band seems to get better with each album). The title track was used in the movie China Moon. “Rent Man Blues” is a humorous dialog between Myers and guest-vocalist Carol Fran. Myers also adds an “answer” song to the blues classic “Sloppy Drunk.” – Niles J. Frantz
