Live at the Labatt Blues stage July 2nd 2001
Heavy, languorous grooves dominate this Montreal group's blues, in both the traditional
and electric varieties. Jo Hell Leads his Roosters through a blues barnyard where Robert
Johnson and B.B. King once strutted, updating those sounds with flashes of latter-day
wizards Jimi Hendrix and Stevie ay Vaughan. Give the devil his due.
