Review by Richard Foss

If you're seeking a joyous blast of Chicago blues, you need look no further. This album of energetic party music is the best-sounding album from Duke Tumatoe, thanks to the meticulous production of John Fogerty, who saw them in a bar and decided to produce their major-label debut.

I Like My Job! crackles with energy from the opening notes of the cheerful "Get Loose." Recording live was a smart move, since the audience response to songs like "If I Hadn't Been High" and "More Love, More Money" makes both vastly better than any studio take. This is doubly true for the salacious "Tie You Up," as seductive a song about bondage play ever written -- at least, up to the point where Tumatoe is raving about using garbanzo beans and croutons as sex toys. This inspired silliness holds from end to end and makes this a must-have album for anyone who likes their blues spiced with more than a dash of humor.

You run into this neighborhood character on the street and ask, "How's it going," and he always has a story. Hip, slick and entertaining, he's a big part of the neighborhood's personality. It's no wonder Dr. Duke Tumatoe is a beloved radio personality in the Wheat Belt. The band ... wowsa ... they prove they can play blues, jazz, swing and rock with the best, they prove it in brief, perfect passages and then get back to the story, which is that neighborhood character's story of the moment. Really cool stuff. (Arthur Shuey)

Dr. Duke, such a grizzled veteran, has released one of the most joyous, exciting, soulful, passionate, funky, and outrageous experiences of 1999. His songwriting is better than ever, and the band simply has chops for days without being showy or pretentious. "Free Chicken and Beer" is the best instrumental I've heard in 10 years. Folks, there are a lot of artist who get tons of hype and don't deserve it. Duke Tumatoe gets no hype and deserves tons of it! This is one of America's undiscovered jewels, so get ahold of this simply incredible CD and enjoy the heck out of it, then tell your friends. (amazon.com)
