The tracks on this album composed by bluesman Gerry Joe Weise have both fire and power, ignited by his 1963 L-series Stratocaster and 1960 Sears Silvertone. Showcasing "Slidewater Cajun" with his trio live in Paris, featuring cosmic slidework. "Long Train Blues" a soaring elecrifying experience, taken from the concert opening for the legendary Yardbirds. "Who's Calling? Crocodile River" where Texas meets Australia's Northern Territory; and tunes even more Australian in style, like "Ned Kelly Outlaw" a solo deep and blue about bushrangers catching a fugitive. "Down In Sydney" a soulful acoustic solo performed live, opening for The Scorpions in front of 7,000 people at the Zenith in France. (GUITARIST MAGAZINE) SOUL BAG MAGAZINE - Staying with a big guitar sound is Australia's Gerry Joe Weise. He has put aside traditional Australian instruments (didgeridoo etc...) that had given his former album great color, to concentrate more on vocals and guitar. Fans who enjoy heroic guitar solos under control, will enjoy the treatment. Many great arrangements, plus an interesting contemporary approach to the acoustic guitar. (Christophe Mourot, SOUL BAG MAGAZINE)BLUES MAGAZINE - 21st Century Blues Rock executed with a twangbanger 1963 Stratocaster and a 1960 Silvertone for bottleneck slide. The abuse and the raw power create a sonic landscape that spotlights the talents of Gerry Joe Weise. Singer and accomplished songwriter, he has written more than 80 tunes, some of which have had radio airplay. To sum things up, for the last 3 decades, Gerry Joe Weise has performed amazing guitar at festivals and concerts around the World. (John Douglas, BLUES MAGAZINE)GERRY JOE WEISE Banners
