The newest release from Guy is available from November 2011. Original songs on the album include the opening track Big Wheel where a wistful National guitar gets you heading down the highway. Miss You So is a tense and terse blues, That's Against the Law makes a little nod in the direction of Johnny Cash and Bobby Zimmerman, Willie Dixon is dedicated to the great Chicago bluesman -- and Hero of the Blues -- and is reminiscent of Lowell George and Little Feat, Quitting' Time is a working man's blues, and the heartfelt Prodigal |Song deals with clearing out the house of a parent who has recently passed away. Covers include songs from The Band, Eric Bibb, Canon's Jug Stompers, and the American country spiritual Wayfaring Stranger. "A master songsmith . . . file it under Tortoriana!" Ashwyn Smythe -- Blues Matters!
