A natural follow-up to the self-titled LP, this record is a bit bluesier than its predecessor, and not quite as gritty. There are three cover songs on this album, all of which are based on basic 12-bar blues patterns. Another strong album, although two Chuck Berry songs may be too much.
While the band used songs they'd been playing for years on their debut, this LP finds the group with not as many up-to-snuff originals ready to roll--thus the number of cover songs. It's still a good LP, and the songs are well-done.
