(CD Oktober 2011)
„Bitter folks make bitter music, sad folks the same. During this session Kidd Jordan talked about overcoming health problems as well as coming out of a gig and encountering a Ku Klux Klan rally; Warren Smith talked about going to a sandwich shop in Illinois with some college friends and being told he couldn’t eat inside with the white folks. This is not political music, but there is a defiance to the playing that comes out of those experiences. In addition to waving the freak flag, there is the blues and New Orleans voodoo, and there is a lot of intelligence, humor, and awareness between the players. The record is called On Fire for a reason.“
