Editorial Reviews :
It's hard to articulate what elevates Whiskey Store above your standard, run-of-the-mill, guitar-driven blues album. Certainly the talent of the main players involved has something to do with it, not to mention guests including Charlie Musselwhite and Double Trouble. It's not surprising, then, that Whiskey Store is a topnotch, rollicking good time. It kicks right in with the energetic, riff-heavy opener 'I Ain't Broke,' and moves on to the title track, a slow blues drenched in trailing guitar lines. Other highlights include 'Strange Things Happen,' which has some great harmonica from Musselwhite; the ballad 'Unknown Legend'; and the bouncy, uptempo instrumental 'Freddy's Combo.' Overall, Whiskey Store offers a slew of excellent choices.
Buyer Reviews :
Former front man for the Nighthawks Jim Thackery and Louisiana sensation Tab Benoit get together with the dream team of Charlie Musselwhite on harp, Reese Wynans on B3, Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums for an exceptional release which has plenty of emotion and fiery guitar. Covering the songs of Colin Linden, Percy Mayfield, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Neil Young and a smattering of originals, including a remake of Benoit's slow burner 'Nice and Warm', the duo moves effortlessly through the material as if all of the songs were their own. It's not often that collaborations come together this smooth, but when it does the result is beyond expectations. The only thing better would be to see this line up in a concert setting. One of the years best!
