On their new Alligator album, Full Tilt,
Lil’ Ed’s romping, sizzling guitar and
rough-hewn vocals, Young’s thumping bass,
Garrett’s feral rhythm guitar and Littleton’s unpredictable, rock-solid drumming produce
a modern blues firestorm steeped in tradition.
Produced by Williams and Alligator president
Bruce Iglauer, Full Tilt captures
all of Lil’ Ed And The Blues Imperials’
legendary live energy on disc.
From foot-stomping boogies to emotionally
charged slow blues to rocked-out celebrations,
Full Tilt is a party-inducing delight.
The addition of horn players Eddie McKinley
and David Basinger and pianist/organist
Johnny Iguana on a few songs adds
even more punch and power to the proceedings.
