Recorded at Editmasters Studios, Chatham, New York; The Carriage House, Stamford, Connecticut; Pulse Wave Underground, Trumbull, Connecticut; NRS Studios, Hurley, New York; FarmSound Studios, Heelsum, the Netherlands. Rory Block`s 11th album marked both a personal and professional milestone. Now a thoroughly experienced singer, Block sounded much more confident and assured doing traditional blues tunes. Her performance on the title cut was both assertive and definitive, while she also displayed her customary versatility, doing country and folk-flavored numbers such as "Silver Wings" and "Rolling Log" in addition to a stunning gospel number, "Walk In Jerusalem." Block`s vocals and guitar work have blossomed, toughened and greatly improved over her career, and were in prime form here. ~ Ron Wynn
