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
Jerking my love Around
You build me up
You slap me down
Why you always doggin’ me around?
Well babe I don’t know what to do,
Can’t you see that I love you?
You lead me on like I’m some kind of hound,
Well baby, lately I have found, you’re only jerkin’ my love around
I treat you nice,
You know I’m keen,
The way you make me look, it’s so obscene,
You got me wearing out the floor,
Pacing here at your back door,
Hey let me in, stop treating me so mean,
Yeah baby, lately I have found you’re only jerkin’ my love around
Well if you think,
That I’m your fool,
Ain’t gonna let you take me back to school,
I’m tired of Fifty Shades of Grey,
I want some colour in my day,
I think I know what I am gonna do,
And baby soon you will have found, you ain’t jerkin’ my love around.
