Product Description

From Amazon.com

On his sophomore release, guitarist Eric Sardinas seems to have chilled out a little, settling into a musical stride that, as with all the best blues, can keep going all day long. While in many ways his music hasn't changed much since 1999's Treat Me Right, Sardinas sounds a lot more confident on this one, especially during Devil's Train's bluesier second half. Here, his admittedly exceptional slide work and gravelly voice are great assets, especially as he relaxes into "Country Mile," duets with Honeyboy Edwards on "Gambling Man Blues," and carries "Down to Whiskey" all the way to the end. Although Sardinas is from southern California--and that's often audible--there's a Texas feel to his blues: it's big, loud, tight, and impossible to ignore. A notable exception is the final track, which ends things on an unexpectedly quiet note. --Genevieve Williams

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointed, Mar 26 2004

I bought this CD based on the reviews here on Amazon. Unfortunately, I'm not that impressed. The playing is good, but seems to lack a bit of soul. Both the vocals and the songs lack variety so it gets a bit monotonous after a few cuts. The production also seems a bit shallow or sparse which might be fine if his playing was more compelling. All in all, listening to this CD is like catching Johnny Winter on an off day.

I love him!!!!! I love this CD Devil's Train just a much as I love his first! I cannot tell enough people about this hot man. The way he plays guitar is amazing and I have to close my eyes so there is nothing but his guitar and my soul involved and it booms right into me. Eric Sardinas is awesome and I recommend anyone who loves rockin' steamy blues to get this CD! You will not be sorry! Eric IS it! Genuine and sexy to boot - you can't lose!
Thanks Eric! I luv ya! KatGirl

Loaded with great phrasing, tremendous slide work, and great song variation, blues lovers cannot go wrong with this tight, exceptional recording.

This is Sardinas' second studio album, and it's just as good as his first, if not better.
