Riding with the Juke Joint Kings is the band's second album, following on from their highly praised debut 'Live at the Stonemasons'.
The influence of the pioneering electric Chicago blues of the 40s and 50s is clear from the opening track, Riding With The Juke Joint Kings (telling the story of how the band was formed) through to the closing track 'End of the Line' (a fictionalised account of the singer's struggle with vices in his formative years and ongoing battle with temptation).
Soul and rock influences can also be heard, but not such that the band moves away from electric harp and guitar driven blues and remains true to its influences from the golden period of Chess, Veejay and other great blues labels.
CD comes in card wallet featuring photography by Paul Laybourne of a storm brewing over the train station of the band's home town.

lyrics
Baby Don’t Go
Baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
I beggin’ for the life of me,
Honey why’d’you take that knife to me
Baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
We could learn to live together, before it’s too late
Baby don’t leave
Baby don’t leave
Baby don’t leave
Baby don’t leave
I beggin’ an I’m pleadin’ dear,
Don’t you leave me bleedin’ here
Baby don’t leave,
Baby don’t leave,
We could learn to live together, before it’s too late
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back
I promise I will change my ways,
I’d like to see another day
Baby come back,
Hey woman come back
We can still learn to live together, before it’s too late
Lord don’t you go,
Lord don’t you go,
Lord don’t you go,
Lord don’t you go,
I’m beggin’ for forgiveness now,
I know I don’t deserve it anyhow,
Lord don’t you go,
Please Lord don’t you go,
We couldn’t learn to live together, and now it’s too late.
