This new CD is simmering with the sounds of traditional blues. All of the tracks were written by Dr. "Feelgood" Potts. His hard-hitting harmonica is the lead instrument on all songs, including seven vocal tracks and three scorching harmonica instrumental tracks. This bluesman has a story to tell with harmonious tales comparable to the works of artists like Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, Junior Wells, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and other blues artists and harmonica players popular in the late 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, when the "from the belly" blues radiated the airwaves. It is Memphis-style blues that originated in the Mississippi Delta where the All-American blues artist, Dr. "Feelgood" Potts was born and raised.

This music takes you back to the sound of the original Memphis Beale Street blues that saturated the sounds of the streets, juke joints, and clubs over a long stretch of years. It is also known as "authentic" blues; the kind that have you shaking your head to the beat, squeezing your eyes together, and not being afraid to get ugly for the blues. Listening to Dr. "Feelgood" Potts on these tracks compels all blues lovers to take notice. These bona fide blues will generate old and new fans alike; because everybody loves a genuine classic. This is the real deal.
