‘the plague’ (COVID-19) rampages the world over, is a sensation. Recorded (as the title implies)

live at the Cheese and Grain pub in the small town of Frome (pronounced FrUme or Froom) in
Somerset, England, the album Ruzz leads his band with some outstanding work on his Gretsch
guitar throughout. The band, and the audience, are filled with enthusiasm and there are some
wonderful, pulsating arrangements of old and new music.

Without a doubt my favourite track is a stomping version of ‘Baby Please Come Home’ with some

ace bass work and soloing from Ruzz. That is closely followed by a frenetic ‘Mama Talk To Your
Daughter’ which comes with some great keyboard work or a moody, tremolo riven, ‘Baby Scratch
My Back’, featuring Jerry Tremaine.

All in all, BiG, BIG sound filled with fire and fury. Feisty arangements and a band that can play its

ass off, What more do you want. Love it!!
