This German import, released by Evidence Music in 1994 on compact disc, is notable for seven live tracks, the rest being studio cuts, many from previous releases. While the live recording quality is a little muddy at times, the stage energy of this Piedmont acoustic blues duo is unmistakable on such tracks as their own "Burn Your Bridges" and an inspired version of Jimmy Reed's "Running and Hiding." ~ Jeff Crooke
