****Down Beat (1959):
-The packaging follows the customary 1959 tie-in-with-the-mass-media-pattern, but the strapping music inside is as refreshing as a dipper of spring water in Death Valley. Worth special mention is the trumpet work of Carey. McGarity's shouting style is a highly individualistic fusion of raucous barrelhouse and sophisticated craftsmanship.-
