    Dig Thy Savage Soul is everything a Barrence Whitfield & the Savages fan could hope for and more; it may even reel in followers of the Dirtbombs, Andre Williams, and the Detroit Cobras.

    What Whitfield lacks in originality he makes up for with a tireless push to the end zone.

    Dig Thy Savage Soul is a primo slab of garage/R&B/soul/blues power from one of today’s top practitioners of the art.
