Producers: Kenny Neal, Bob Greenlee, Bruce Iglauer.

You really can't go wrong with any of the guitarist's fine Alligator albums, but this one sparkles as brightly as any, with memorable outings like "Right Train, Wrong Track," "That Knife Don't Cut No More," and the steamy title track. Kenny Neal's albums are invariably dominated by well-chosen originals -- no small feat these days. ~ Bill Dahl

Professional Reviews

Down Beat (6/93, p.46) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...his phrases flare with pointed feeling and fervid imagination, his harmonica conveys assurance, and his singing is at once randy and exuberant....`Going To The Country' evidences Neal's deep respect for country blues..."

Musician (4/93, p.90) - "...an all-American bluesman who plays in the direction of Texas and Chicago blues traditions as well as sweet home Louisiana....[Neal has] a warm gruffness in his voice, a sharp and assured sense of guitar riffing and a certain suavity in his harmonica chops..."
