Full Tilt [CD]

Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials

Full Tilt [CD]

The rawest Chicago blues being made today. Ed stokes the up-tempo tracks to a white-hot intensity and the tough, slow blues even hotter. A touch of barrelhouse piano and raucous horns add to the fun, while The Blues Imperials match Ed step for step, pushing him to the best performances of his career. "They blow down the walls. Dim the lights, turn up the stereo, and let the house party begin" -- GUITAR PLAYER
