The fabled swinging, jumping California band featuring Rick Estrin’s masterful harmonica, wise-guy vocals and surprising songs along with Charlie Baty’s absolutely amazing guitar playing. Years on the road together made them into one of the most exciting and original bands on the blues scene. This 1995 release includes Rick’s sly I Could Deal With It, the hilarious I Can’t Speak No Spanish and the jumping You Gonna Lie. Charlie astounds on the instrumental Gerontology. Great musicianship, memorable songwriting and you can hear how much fun they’re having on every song.
