Recorded in Los Angeles with a crew of young acolytes offering spot-on backing (guitarists Zach Zunis and Rick Holmstrom acquit themselves well), Arnold eases back into harness with a remake of "I Wish You Would" before exposing some fine new originals (the Chuck Berry-styled rocker "Move on Down the Road" is a stomping standout) and an homage to his old mentor Sonny Boy (a romping "Shake The Boogie").

This is an absolute killer, and the production is unbeatable, not a track on it that isn’t excellent, total empathy from the superb backing band - has to be his finest hour! Arnold hasn't lost anything to the years. He still blows his mouth harp and his vocals have grown deeper, darker and fuller with age.
