My personal review and reflection: 
| ||
|---|---|---|
| What can I say! I like BLUES, and this is BLUES. Eric plays these old blues-tunes so damned well, so I don't know what to say. Okay, I know he is copying, but he is so skilful! He is using his guitar AND his voice to make these songs something extra. If I must choose: "Five Long Years", "I'm Tore Down", "It Hurts Me To", "Someday After A While" AND "Groaning The Blues". | ||
