It's Yesterday Once More BTHB
~ The Toronto's Blues Society Review
("Canada's Own Mr. Soul" ~Ronni Hawkins)

Peterborough's Brian "Buzz" Thompson is Ronnie Hawkins' longtime guitarist. In 1996, he released a CD of R&B standards recorded live at the Red Dog entitled Find Out For Yourself. He, and his new wife Jeanne, have been recording original songs ever since. It's Yesterday Once More is very much in the Hawkins style in that it's a mix of blues, boogie, country and ballads. The blues & boogie songs are of most interest here with "Boogie Shoes", "Waitin's Killin' Time" and "Out There" leading the way. Honourable mention, though, has to go to the country rocker "Don't Withdraw All Your Love" which cleverly compares love to banking. Thompson plays guitars & harp with J.P. Hovercraft on bass and Brent Bailey on keyboards and Doug Hewie on drums as the Honeybees. Robin Hawkins guests on the closer "Life on the Fly" which they characterize as cowboy metal funk rap (!) - it must've been fun to record.
