This was released in 2008 and I have to assume this is the final Phil Guy release as he passed away in the same year. In any event, this is a fine CD full of great blues guitar and a fun one to listen to. Phil injected some humor and good vibes into this one and you can feel it. Standout tracks to me include the title track which is a duet and guitar battle with brother Buddy Guy that stretches over 10 minutes, the fun On Our Front Porch and the last track I Feel Sexy which works a James Brown groove with hot guitar for over 12 minutes and will get your booty shakin' big time. Not what you would expect on a blues CD but Phil was having fun on this track for sure! Overall, a nice finish to a long career from a man who spent many years in a support role and was overshadowed by his brother but was able to occasionally shine as a solo artist. This is one of those highlights and we will miss Phil Guy.

Summary - solid blues CD with some standout tracks and some fine guitar from a long time Blues Brother. ---6 String Guy, amazon.com

Phil Guy didn't eclipse his older brother Buddy's status as a blues superstar, and in reality, Phil's funky brand of blues was not captured correctly for posterity. But he remained an active attraction on the Chicago circuit, following in his sibling's footsteps and patiently waiting for his own star to rise up until his death. Like his sibling, Phil Guy played with harpist Raful Neal (for a decade) before leaving the Baton Rouge scene for Chicago in 1969. There he played with his brother's high-energy organization as well as behind harpist Junior Wells (Phil handled guitar duties with Sammy Lawhorn on Wells' underrated mid-'70s Delmark album On Tap). Phil Guy cut albums of his own for JSP; they were generally lacking in originality if not spirit. Phil Guy lost his battle with liver and kidney cancer in August of 2008. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi

I am a professional musician, based in Chicago, and have a huge collection of blues recordings. I have always been impressed with Phil Guy. As a guitarist/vocalist, Phil is at the top of his game. And, he's quite the likeable person. I became a dedicated Phil Guy fan upon hearing this CD! This is wonderful music. I listen to it over and over and over again and enjoy it every time. I take it everywhere I go and play it for all my friends. This is an absolutely must-have CD. ---R.G. Pasenko, amazon.com
