    Here's another new album from Darrell and company. The different band name indeed indicates different players on guitar and bass. This album was recorded live in Europe and shows these guys laying back in the pocket, verses any sort of attacking rock and roll. You get lots of harmonica and fine singing, but most of the musicianship just takes care of business, with no intentions of getting in your face. The album's highlights are the uptempo numbers, which would include the reworked cover of "Boom Boom (Out go the Lights)," and "Last Chance Boogie," and "Million Dollar Feeling."
