The Dallas-born Morgan was drawn to the blues by hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan; he also studied the work of the fabulous Thunderbirds, Anson Funderburgh and Ronnie Earl. In the mid-'80s he formed The Crawl with Darrell Nullisch, who was later replaced by Lee McBee. The band worked extensively in the Southwest and Europe, and during the '90s recorded for Black Top. Suhler born in Dallas too (1960), was well known in that city's blues bars by the mid-'80s. He added to his guitar style rock'n'roll. Suhler have good voice and played with own band Monkey Beat. His guitar sound is glassy, slashing and incisive; Morgan is brawny, rugged and retro. This is his first recorded collaboration. This recorded it's straight, no chaser, and his music has fire. Fire is a natural thing. Guitarists can acquire speed, style, flash, and fury. Fire is more elemental. A player either has it or he doesn't. Mike Morgan and Jim Suhler have tons of it. The Morgan/Suhler coalition comprises two guitarists of maturity and depth, who solo explosively but inventively, and share a great sense of dynamics.

[7:11] 12. Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground Sweet Temptation

The title cut is more than appropriate, as the entire recording makes you want to do just that. It would be hard to beat the combination of the classic “Little Boy Blue”, mischievious “Double Talking Woman”, and toe tapping “Every Dog Has His Day”. This is one you don’t want to miss.

[3:03] 11. Pickin' The Blues
[4:24] 12. I Just Got To Know
[3:13] 13. If I Could See The Future

From the hard-rocking, slide guitar driven “Where Were You When the Lights Went Out” to the Magic Sam-influenced treatment of “I Just Got to Know,” Suhler and company carve out an original blues-rock groove that recalls George Thorogood, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Suhler is particularly good at nasty slide guitar, showcased on the Elmore James instrumental “Pickin’ the Blues.”

From the Bo Diddley beat (on “Oh Hannah”) to the slinky reptile rhythms (“Doncha Hang Around My Door”), Monkey Beat suggests an unwholesomely good time. And, as George Thorogood (who picked them as an opening act on his most recent tours) states, “They better be good, I discovered them.”
