Don't you steal my Mooney !
John Mooney is a curious man, he's supposed to be an outstanding slide guitarist, but his instrument keeps rather discreet on this album, or at least muffled by the other instruments. For example, on the great opening track “Wibble Whim She When She Walk”, one wonders if he had forgotten his guitar at home ! The song has a very definite New Orleans sound, with a three-piece horn section led by tenor sax man Rich Lataille, and joyfully mixes second line with rock'n'roll à la Fats Domino thanks to the prominent presence of the truly excellent Bob Cooper on piano. He's by far the key musician of the ten tracks of the album behind Mooney's enthralling hot and swinging vocal style delivered by a powerful deep and throaty voice sometimes bending towards vibrato.
