I have it, and I'm lukewarm about it. For me the album says more about EC than RJ. It's nice enough in an inoffensive sort of way. I found the production a bit overdone, especially given the subject matter and the fact that it's a tribute album. It's OK, but I won't go out of my way to put it on a lot.
I'm a little biased in this, I prefer my blues straight up with an edge. EC falls in the middle - he's bluesier than yer average white boy, but he ain't no Mississippi Fred McDowell.
