The soul infused ‘One More Chance’, is a splendid gentle guitar and harmonica plea
    for forgiveness and ‘Rob And Steal’, is quite simply, a great percussion and bass
    driven Hill Country stomper.


    ‘I Can Feel It’, is a tender, slowburn, pleading guitar driven, love ballad.

    ‘You Better Run’, is a stark, menacingly dark, guitar fuelled warning.

    ‘Miss  You’,  is  an  acoustic  guitar  and  slowly  wailing  harmonica  driven  tale  of
    melancholy and bitter loss.


    Highly Recommended!

                                                  Garry Burnside is the youngest son of legendary
                                                  Hill Country bluesman R.L. Burnside.

                                                  Garry, spent his musical apprenticeship with his

                                                  father, Junior Kimbrough and later worked with
                                                  the North Mississippi All-Stars Hill Country Revue.
                                                  He  has  also  worked  with  his  brother  Duwayne
                                                  Burnside  and  Grammy  winning  nephew  Cedric

                                                  Burnside and artists such as Jesse Mae Hemphill,
                                                  Bobby Rush, Iggy Pop, Kid Rock amongst others.

                                                  The  band  are  Garry;  guitar  and  vocals,  Andrea
    Stanton; rhythm guitar, Pinky Pulliam; bass and Avery Dilworth on drums. The

    album was recorded at the Royal Studio in Memphis.

    According to Garry the album was actually recorded five years ago.

    The album consists of eleven numbers that are a subtle mixture of Blues, Rock and
    Jazz.  Opening  with  the  guitar  driven  jazz  funker  ‘High’,  it  is  the  first  of  three
    instrumentals, the mellow and slow burning, haunting ‘Bad Luck City’ and a steady

    rolling wah, wah infused ‘AGF Out’ which slides down to gentle picking and then
    rises up and satisfyingly rocks out.

    ‘Young Country Boy’, delivers a confidently electrifying, rocking blues, with strong
    percussive backing. ‘It’s My Time Now’, continues this rocking blues theme and on

    ‘Hanging In There’, John C. Stubblefield provides the bass, for this infectious, chant
    infused stinging guitar rocker.

    ‘Ramblin’ is a steady, infectiously rocking, boogie concerning emotional turbulence,
    while  ‘Holdin’ My Woman’, is a lively, guitar picking tale about losing one’s girlfriend.

    ‘I Been Looking’, is also a plaintive plea for a missing loved one, the steady rolling
    shuffle aligns well with the slightly wailing vocal and ‘She’s Gone’, is another tale of
