The Smokin' Polecats are a blues band formed by five veteran musicians from Washington DC who play all kinds of blues, from Little Walter and Jimmy Reed to Slim Harpo and Lightnin Slim, can walk around rockin jump, the memphis soul and some boogie approaches. They can appeal to T-Bone Walker or Lowell Fulson to slide down the swing and land on Etta James . In this first album they prove to be electrifying soloists and their and their plan is clear, to play blues, to have fun and to make the audience into enjoy and dance. For that they only let inspiration fly and the result is really convincing. An excellent album.
