My father was his manager when I was 10 to 11 years old. I remember his music well.

Very cool.

Boogaloo Joe on Guitar, these dudes knew how to groove.

[@ElectronicsUSA]

Superb recording! It's hard to top the original Lou Donaldson classic....but I think they did it!!!! This version is an absolute GEM.

[@ganeshpanchanathan6300]

The Purdie Shuffle.......oh man he's so damn good

[@speedoj69]

one of the greatest blues grooves of all time,blows away the original which is no small task.Rusty literally blows his ass off on this track

[@ElectronicsUSA]

Agreed! TOTALLY blows away the original!!!
