A CD hangzása mind a Gov't Mule-t, mind a Gregg Allman-t idézi. Nem csoda hiszen a 2 csapat együtt játszik. Sajnos John Jaworowicz aki szerző és gitáros is volt (zeneszerzőként írt Koko Taylornak, Little Miltonnak, a Gov't Mule-nek, a The Allman Bros.-nek és Son Sealsnek) nem sokkal a megjelenés után elhunyt, Jimmy Nalls pedig a Parkinson kórjával viaskodik. Igazi blues - rockot hallhatunk jókora déli beütéssel!

The sound of this CD is a little reminiscent of Gov't Mule both in the vocals of John Jaworowicz and in the guitar solo's. The Co-Op itself features a host of guests including, Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes on guitar, Jimmy Nalls and Jack Pearson both from the Gregg Allman Band on guitar, Willie Howse from the Greg Allman band on harp, Willie Dixon's drummer, Chucki Bruke and Billy Earheart from the Amazing Rhythm Aces on organ. All of the songs on the CD, except Willie Dixon's "Back Door Man", were written or cowritten by Jaworowicz. Unfortunately, Jaworowitcz passed away shortly after the CD was released and Jimmy Nalls is currently battling Parkinson's disease. Therefore, a follow up CD reuniting this talent will not occur. Overall, the songs represented here are good rockin' blues from the land of Muscle Shoals. Highlights are "Muddy Water Fever" and "Shake You Down". No slow dancing allowed.
