The Mannish Boys, Live and In Demand (Delta Groove). An all-star line-up of LA based Blues Heavies, recorded live in July 2005. The set opens with a blistering instrumental, Kid's Jump (1) that features Kid Ramos on guitar. Several vocalists trade the next group of tunes, the best of which is Johnny Dyer singing You're Sweet (5). Things really fall together, though, when Finis Tasby takes the mic, starting with the fine novelty Goin' Crazy Over TV (7). All his tracks (7-12) are good, especially Strangest Blues (10) and As the Years Go Passing By (11).
