  • CoreyMy older brother bought this Album home and I played it on a Technics turn table with JBL speakers after half a joint of the best Columbian Gold and after hearing Stand Back we could not stop dancing
  • Mike from Hotlanta, GeorgiaGreat bass line by Mr. Berry Oakley...!
    I forever will remember Duane introducing a song onstage by saying, "Here's a little old number from our first album.....Berry starts her off........(whipping post...?) faint yell from audience ........yeah, you guessed it...."
  • Anthony from Bayonne, New JerseyIn my humble opinion one of the greatest slide guitarist to come along.
