Ass Pocket Of Whiskey CD music. Although Eddie Boyd's signature tune "Five Long Years," a venerable blues standard, is absent from this SONET BLUES STORY set, there is plenty of evidence here that the Chicago bluesman's hit was no fluke.

The musician is joined by a rollicking band that includes bass, drums, sax, and harmonica, but Boyd's driving piano and soulful, plaintive voice lead the charge.
