Original Hollywood Fats Band - Al Blake: vocals,

bass and now with guitar guru Kirk Fletcher:
guitar – they’re back and serving
up platefuls of the blues.
- Song List -

it’s fresh and full of boogie.

rockabilly, foot tappin’ ditty.

– soulful harmonica with jazzy vocals.
4. Soon Forgotten (3:57) –
the guitar playin’ was terrific, great
solos with a piano backing.

Johnson and the harmonica is right on with lots
of groove.
