Backup vocals provided by Juliette Angeli. Buddaheads recording artist Alan Mirikitani (AKA B.B. Chung King) provided vocal arrangements for Ms Angeli and additional guitar. He also engineered the album at his Dawwghouse Studios in Burbank CA.
"I really liked 'Earthquake Mama' from the first play. This band is kind of like Fabulous Thunderbirds meets Johnny Winter. There is an edginess to the guitar work that moves the feeling into a low down, Texas roadhouse vibe. Tony B’s solid harp work adds the right touches to make you feel like it’s midnight in Memphis and it’s a hot night with no end in sight. Tony has a blues voice that’s in the pocket for these songs… sometimes I catch hints of Jim Morrison coming through. My favorite song is the title track – Earthquake Mama. If you like low down authentic blues, you’re going to love this album."
