The long awaited Keys oeuvre is finally here. It is the key in ebony and ivory. The disk listens like a jukebox of piano history and stylings. Tommy delivers on all 88 as various cities with piano influences are explored. Of course, there's some good old backbeat NOLA and soulful Memphis but there's also the gutbucket Sunnyland and Spann of Chicago's Southside and even a touch of Basie's blues as found in Kansas City. Boogie from St. Louis isn't neglected, either. Tommy has demonstrated a fine hand at songwriting on this compilation. The energy level is high and the good times are flowing as Keys tickles the ivories. Twelve cuts rock the joint with 6 being originals. Tommy shouts like he means it and his lyrics say it clear, from love to a government that's lost. The fun is joined and enlarged by several guests. Ken 'the Rocket' Korb lays down some heart wrenching harmonica on “From Four Until Late”. Tommy talks about no $ but the joy felt as long as he’s sitting there playing the blues.
