Songs of whiskey, women, and money — nothing was more important to the repertoire of this classic acoustic blues duo. Good relations on stage were not, but during this 18-tune club date at Sugar Hill in San Francisco, Terry and McGhee are in good spirits. […]

JazzTimes
Great storytelling set to song, done up in the sparse and brutally honest setting of acoustic guitar and harmonica. […]

Paste Magazine
Scholars of the Piedmont blues genre or acoustic country blues in general will find this thoroughly engaging. The duo’s casual virtuosity and seemingly telepathic interplay is evident throughout the set. […]
