Windsor-born Stu Heydon is a veteran bluesman with his first CD as a leader. He began his career playing with Detroit’s legendary Bobo Jenkins, to whom this CD is dedicated. A charter member of the Windsor/Detroit scene, he was also a long time member of the Wild Child Butler band after he re-located to Windsor. So he knows about the blues. Although he has since moved to Carmel CA, he recorded much of this album at Grant Avenue Studio in Hamilton with our A-List players: Prakash John & Jordan John are on bass & drums,Mike Branton on rhythm guitar, Les Smith on harp and Michael Fonfara/Bob Phillips/Dennis Keldie on keyboards.

Gitarist Stu Heydon speelt al jarenlang blues en verdiende daardoor tijdens the Motor Cities Blues Awards, de "Lifetime Achievement Award", deelde 't podium met zowat de halve top van het blueskruim en deed zowat elk betekenisvol bluesfestival in Amerika. Ook zijn er weinig stijlen binnen de blues die nog geheimen voor hem hebben. Late night jams in Bobo Jenkins befaamde studio elke zaterdag avond met de beste bluesmuzikanten van Detroit' waren een perfecte leerschool voor hem. Diezelfde Bobo Jenkins was bovendien zijn persoonlijke leermeester op gitaar. Stu speelde twintig jaar lang met Bobo en Wild Child Butler.
Wat later verhuisde hij naar Carmel in Californië, waar hij zich hoofdzakelijk met de Blue Room recording Studio verbond, en er les gaf aan jongere muzikanten, omdat hij besefte dat de blues in gevaar is momenteel, en hij ziet het als een taa
