A review from My Texas Music: "Some dream of it, and some attempt it. Mandy Mercier jumps up on top of it and beats it into submission. From the opening cut, Mercier attacks each song as if it will be her last. Few singers possess this type of passion for performing. Blues fans will enjoy the song selection ... as Mercier blends covers, originals, and innovative arrangements of traditional tunes to produce a masterful album. Organ player Chip Dolan's performance is neo-retro and perfect for Mercier's style. The title cut is a Ray Wylie Hubbard composition and Hubbard duets on the cut. Mercier's performance on "Ball and Chain" is worth the price of the disc. Not typical in her delivery, Mercier has developed a unique sound that makes her one of the best in Texas. Good friends ... Shake Russell and Dana Cooper both appear on the album as do Champ Hood and Paul Skelton. Excellent project top to bottom." L.B.
