Switching Gears
Thackery's guitar styles hold center stage for much of the album, and he has the masterful chops to attempt everything from slow 12-bar blues to a Cajun romp.... Not only does [he] pay tribute to these guitar giants with tasteful, intelligent readings of their styles and sounds, but he displays real skill in his own songs ... [on one song] Chubby Carrier brings his accordion to join the band.... Other top-notch guests also make solid contributions ... Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers weave their way in and out of various styles, always maintaining a straight-ahead focus. --Living Blues
