  • Jess from San Antonio, TxThis song is proof that these guys have captured the funky soul of Doug Sahm, mixed in some Double Trouble licks & a bleeding guitar solo that comes from the soul. This song sounds like something you took home and spun on vinyl in the 70's. These Lonely Dudes are some bad ass musicians. Rock on.
  • Lawrence from Erie, PaBy rights I am a heavy metalist, but when you feel the music you have to follow. difinitely a fan!!!! Gotta love the guitar solo!!!!!
