The best release on Blow it hard yet, thi is pure funky Hammond boogaloo all the way, well be playing this at jelly jazz for months to come. ..Jelly JazzThis record may just represent the meanest, tightest 5 minutes of Hammond driven soul youre likely to have heard in some time. ..HammondbeatHip joint is as near a perfect song as you could ask for.
