Still largely under the spell of early Johnny Winter, Haynes matured in terms of studio savvy in the decade since his previous effort. Backed by the Double Trouble rhythm section (Chris Layton, Reese Wynans, and ex-Winter bassist Tommy Shannon), he covers T-Bone, Bo, Elmore, Little Walter, Eddie Taylor and others, with the Bobby Blue Bland title track being the standout. More originals would be welcome. ---Dan Forte, allmusic.com

Recorded live at the Big Easy, Houston, TX. August 27 & 28, 2001

I'm a guitar player and huge Blues fan. This CD is no longer available but I have a copy that I listen to regularly. Alan's style and tone are amazing. His solos are clean, extended and loyal to past blues greats while still being unexpected and original. He has built up a warehouse of guitar licks that he shares every show. If you're ever in Austin, catch him playing most Sunday nights at Maggie Maes [...]. He is one of my favorite guitar players and like all great bluesmen, he is dedicated to his craft. ---Dean, amazon.com

Along with places like Etta's Lounge and The Silver Slipper, The Big Easy keeps Houston's blues and zydeco scene vibrant and fertile, bringing down-to-earth charm and solid soul to one of the city's toniest areas. The focus here is on local artists, living legends who routinely draw capacity crowds. --- houstonpress.com
