Review: Hazleton's couple of tracks reveal an expressive voice and some nice harmonica playing, but of course the real draw here is Eddie Jones, who manages to wrangle a stunning variety of sounds out of a string and whiskey bottle, and manages to wrangle out even more stunning songs with it. Recorded on a portable tape recorder, it feels very raw, spontaneous and wild. If only more of this man were recorded.

Pretty essential for those into different variations of the blues as we know it.
