Better of the two Mac related Boyd albums
Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 11th, 2005 Perhaps due to Peter, John & Mick being the core band on this album backing up Boyd's piano and vocal work, I find "7936 South Rhodes" to be more pleasing than the "Eddie Boyd and his blues band featuring Peter Green" album (although Peter & John played on that one too, there were other musicians that didn't really gel well with Eddie's swings). "You got to reap" is a strong shuffling opener, "Just the blues" is a heartfelt slow burner, "She is real" is a breakneck piano tumbler on which John & Mick keep up with the pace well helped by some tasty Peter licks. "Backslap" is a fast piano led instrumental which includes a Green solo and John & Mick keep it moving. "Be careful" is a slow blues which sounds like it just has Eddie on piano and vocals along with Peter on guitar (as does "She's gone" it sounds like to me). "Ten to one" is another good stroll while "The blues is here to stay" is an effective up shuffler. "You are my love" is a slowish stroll, "Third degree" is another slow blues, "Thank you baby" is another breakneck swing with John, Mick & Peter chugging along nicely and there's good swing on the closing shuffle of "I'll never stop (I cant stop loving you)". I have the 1993 BGO UK CD edition of this album and it doesn't include either "The big boat" or "Sent for you yesterday" on it but perhaps there was a CD issue of this album I'm not familiar with that I should try and find. Whatever the case, those single only tracks recorded at the sessions that produced this album would fit in very well here so if you've heard either of those tracks, they will give you a good indication of what you'll hear on this album and though maybe repetitive and restricted on the whole, it works well within it's said confines.
