Album Description:
Lil' Ed Williams is an awe-inspiring master bluesman. He and his blistering, road-tested band, The Blues Imperials--guitarist Mike Garrett, bassist James 'Pookie' Young, drummer Kelly Littleton--are celebrating 20 amazing years together. Live, Lil' Ed And The Blues Imperials simply can't be beat as Ed breaks out the deepest back-bends, the highest toe-walks, and the most authentic electric slide-guitar blues being played today. Not since the heyday of Hound Dog Taylor & The HouseRockers has a Chicago blues band made such a consistently joyous, rollicking noise
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 add even more punch and power to the proceedings.

Rating:  - 2008's Best New CD!
As a Ed Head of over 20 years and having seen these guys over 100 times I can honestly say this is the greatest release ever from a band whose previous work has already garnered numerous awards. The best thing about these guys is the energy and pacing of their live shows, it is captured in this release.
It kicks off with "Hold That Train" loaded with Ed's signature greasy Chicago slide and impassioned vocals. The Blues Imperials are as usual tight and crisp. This is just sheer joy, ... Read More
Rating:  - real cool album
got hip to this band recently and dug the Grooves and live feel and truth be told these songs are gonna be even stronger live because you get that feeling that on the stage it's gonna be wild. the instrumentation is solid all the way through and this album is very well Produced.a real cool and loose feeling album from start to finish.
Rating: - Fult Tilt ain't no lie!!!
This could possibly be Lil Ed & The Blues Imperials' best album yet! I am a huge fan of theirs and listen to them a lot. I have never been disappointed with any of their albums and this one is no exception. From the first track through the last, you'll be rockin'! There is not a bad song on it. Full Tilt is the perfect title for this! These guys have been together for years and it shows. They are TIGHT! Buy this CD and see live if you get the chance. You won't be sorry.
