“Extraordinary Slide Guitar with a GREAT rhythm section! Bass and Drums to die for! The more I listen the more I Love this album. Over all song to song  it is very consistent. If you like slide Guitar you will love this album. Ron Sings and plays from his heart, you can feel his emotion with each note!”

Album features classic Mississippi Delta Blues featuring Ron’s aggressive, raw and dirty slide guitar solos and a fantastic rhythm section!  On this album you have Artis Joyce on bass and Shad Harris on drums. I’d love to have these guys backing me! They are very in tune with each other and they are tight! Fantastic grooves!  My top 3 songs on the album are “I Do Not Dance With Short Girls”, “Mambo for Albert”, and “Diddley Widdley”.  The "live" 6 minute improvisational “Diddley Widdley" is my favorite with Artis showing us some great skills on bass with his solo. All the songs on this Album are great, and they're all a showcase for Hacker's Fantastic slide playing! No wonder Ron was asked to play on Tom Waits Album “Orphan”!
I really enjoyed the album.
The overall average of the songs on this album was pretty consistently good which made the album score high! This would be a good album to buy and add to your collection. Enjoyable Raw and Dirty!
