Only 12 songs long, this collection remains the best place to begin appreciating why so many young
Texas blues guitarists fell in love with
Gatemouth Brown's style (until
MCA decides to compile the ultimate
Brown package, anyway). Listen to the way his blazing axe darts and weaves through trombonist
Pluma Davis' jazzy horn chart on 1954's
"Okie Dokie Stomp," and/or the stratospheric licks drenching
"Dirty Work at the Crossroads." Brown proves that a violin can adapt marvelously to the
blues (in the right hands, anyway) on
"Just Before Dawn," and blows a little atmospheric harp on
"Gate's Salty Blues." ~Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
