Critics Jazztimes (6/91) - "Dawkins' blues tends to be brooding; the outlook is on the bleak side. His forceful guitar solos appear like bolts of lightning among the darkened clouds. His band includes the equally brilliant Otis Rush and the pair duet very effectively on three instrumentals, one a nearly 9-minute jam...Recommended!"
