After over 17 years of playing and almost a million miles on the road, on a warm November evening in South Florida, The Eric Culberson Blues Band recorded its first live CD for official release. And what a glorious night it was! The sold out crowd was enthusiastic from beginning to end, and the band was loose, relaxed, and energetic, turning in one of their finest performances ever. Eric was in top form, and bass player Rodney Smith and drummer Stuart Lusk were locked in all night. The bands versatility is highlighted, as virtually every style of electric blues is featured.

The album stands as an honest document of contemporary blues practice, interesting precisely because it prioritizes authenticity over production value, offering listeners insight into what genuine blues performance sounds like when the recording equipment simply captures
