"Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Randy McAllister is one harp-blowin,' blues singin,' song-writin' Texas bonafide blue blood with talent and power to spare. This is the toughest, ass-kickin'est disc to come out of the Lone Star State in quite some time. It'll getcha! Blues with an attitude - distilled roadhouse blues. Yes, once again JSP scoops the U.S. labels and proves that Texas has more serious blues talents working the clubs in Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and Beaumont than Chicago has by a long shot. I think it's about time that the labels begin to concede that Texas and California are the present and future hotbeds of blues talent in North America. But enough of that argument. Randy McAllister's debut for JSP last year (Diggin' for Sofa Change') turned enough heads but this follow-up is even more self- assured and hard-drivin'. Randy's got a big voice and he projects it like an iron-lunged preacher. His harp playin' is a treat too, fat-toned and soulful. His work on 'Your Hands On My Neck' runs from pure Jimmy Reed to a wailin' climax like nothin' you've heard before. The best harp album you'll hear for pure balls and goose bumps" - Real Blues Magazine

"You have to hand it to this guy, he is a very good harpman, either on chromatic or diatonic, and possesses an 'out of left field,' soulful voice, but his real strength lies in his songwriting. All the material is original, and his CD has a bunch of wry, witty and sometimes downright funny songs. McAllister's songwriting is so clever, ('Makeshift Molly', 'Suzie Goldigger', 'Duct Tape') are perfect examples, and he is such a fine harp player I have to say that sheer listening pleasure is the result" - Blues and Rhythm Magazine

"Armed with one of the deepest voices in the blues and incredible harmonica playing, Randy McAllister has released an excellent sophomore effort. This disc has been in my player daily. Absolutely stunning" - Baltimore Bluesrag
