This rare album saw only a short run in the market due to disagreements with the record company.
"This was my first ever studio album recorded in 1988 with an amazing cast of legendary special guests & session players backing me up! Though I feel I have grown considerably as a musician (hopefully!) since this album was recorded, it is none-the-less an amazing document of all the great players who were in my life at that time. Some are no longer with us: Junior Wells, Howie Wyeth, Steve Burgh... all friends who taught me so much and made a young kid from Brooklyn with an unrealistic passion for the blues feel worthy! This recording is no longer available and I am including clips here as a biographical reference in my musical journey... Released on LP & cassette only, the sound quality of these clips, transferred CDr may be a bit low-fi"
