All songs feature Mandel's great guitar sound (Blues/fusion)
Guests Henry Kaiser, Roy Rodgers & Norton Buffalo on #11
Great sound on all tracks, maybe a bit too short, they are real good but don't seem to cut loose on the CD. Still great to hear Mandel. He plays around the Bay. He was recently at Ireland's 23 Club in Sf.
