FULL TILT is simply the rawest, truest, most electrifying blues being made today. Wielding his slide like a switchblade, Ed stokes the up-tempo tracks to a white-hot intnensity and the tough, slow blues even hotter. A touch of barrelhouse piano and raucous horns adds to the fun and the Blues Imperials, throttle wide-open, match Ed step for step and push him to the best performance of his career.
