There's a proliferation of albums issuing from blues players most people never heard of, stars of their own local blues scene, honky tonk heroes who can put out some good sounds for shuffling drunks who turn out for their Friday night gigs. When these guys put out albums, they tend to sell a handful of copies off the table that gets set up at those performances, but it's hard as hell for talented musicians to gain attention or traction in times like these when competition for the entertainment dollar is so fierce.
And, in a genre that is essentially derivative, it's difficult for blues guys to create a distinctive sound that sets 'em apart from the crowd. But Whiteboy James does stand out on this album, mostly because he's got such a keen sense of humor. On songs like Big Butted Women and Night Train Wine, he can have you dancing and chuckling at the same time. But he's no novelty act. He's a vocalist with his own sound, and he's got a cracklin' band behind him here, with solid guitar work by Scott Abeyta, a guitarist I never heard of, but who's as good as more famous names everyone knows.
Whiteboy James has been around awhile, though fame has not yet found its way to his door. This album might not make him famous, either, but if you seek it out, it's going to show you a good time. ~Chico News and Review

This is the first release from L.A. local legend Whiteboy James since 1992. As the 1992 release was the launching pad for Whiteboy, this release is the product of years of song writing, playing and building a reputation which allowed Whiteboy to attact hardcore veteran musicians to the band. With this release, Whiteboy was clearly sucessfull capturing the raw energy and fun, albeit rated X at times, of his live performances that have made him a L. A. blues legend, and one of the founders of the L.A. Blues sound.
