Reviews:

1. AllMusic - Richie Unterberger
James is still playing R&B/blues/rockabilly-based roots music as a solo act, but his songwriting has become somewhat more serious, in the mode of performers like Graham Parker and Bob Seger. His arrangements have more of a bluesy bar-band feel than those of The Kingbees on this competent, unremarkable 1993 set.
