John Potter - "In essence its a salute to Blues/Country = Rock 'n' Roll. Some tracks are true to the originals i.e. Ubangi Stomp, Blue Moon of Kentucky, Lot of Livin to do. Others we done in our own way"
Gypie Mayo - "20 years and some, it still sounds pretty fresh. I suppose that's 'cos we weren't aiming at technical perfection. Just wanted to say 'hats off and thanks' to our heroes we grew up listening to"
