Reviews :
"On this Grove Note release, guitarist Roy Gaines pays tribute to his hero T-Bone Walker. I Got the T-Bone Walker Blues contains the Walker classics "T-Bone Blues," "Stormy Monday," "T-Bone Shuffle," and "Westside Baby" along with Hank Williams' "Honky Tonk Blues." Backed by a full band highlighted by Clifford Solomon and George Parker on tenor saxophones, Will Miller on trumpet, and the Mighty Flyers' rhythm section, Gaines reminds listeners of Walker's role as a leader who wasn't afraid to incorporate swing, jazz, and country into his blues style." AllMusic Review by Al Campbell
"[A]s if great music alone were not quite enough, the quality of the sound is equally impressive... Mastered by Bernie Grundman, the original release featured nine songs cut for 33rpm along with a second 45rpm LP with four 'bonus' tracks. It was a pretty impressive-sounding disc at the time. But Bernie Grundmans mastering chain saw some dramatic improvements in the early 2000s. Grundman remastered the session and cut the entire album at 45rpm... The new version is drop-dead gorgeous and its sound is of demonstration quality. I did a comparison of 'The Hustle is On' at 45prm from both releases, and the new one is clearly superior, with more extended highs -- even though the earlier cut was spread out over a half side, while the new one shares a side with two other tunes. It shows what can be achieved with an Ampex ATR-100 two-track recorder, some excellent microphones and a lot of talent. It doesnt get much better than this." Dennis Davis, theaudiobeat.com
"A modern blues masterpiece!" Andy Griggs, Real Blues
