With all new songs by Col. Bruce Hampton and Jeff Caldwell. Featuring "Lanerville" recorded live with Ike Stubblefield on B-3 Organ and Grant Green, Jr. on guitar.
 
The Colonel is back, and as lovably eccentric as ever ... strong musicianship and songs that often seem like Flannery O'Connor transported into a Zappa soundtrack
-- Creative Loafing

Hampton has once again reinvented himself for a new generation's taste in noodles and licks. "Give Thanks To Chank" is an impressive record.
-- CD Universe

Most of the tracks are undergirded by a vicious bass and drum groove. Hampton's bluesy songs are riff-based, but his solos, vocal delivery, and lyrics, set them off into another universe altogether.
-- Home Grown Music

[Hampton's] music is still as compelling as ever ... he offers some uniquely blasted guitar soloing ... Caldwell's songs are crisp, bordering on post-Sublime funk-pop and balladry at times and working with an endearing sweetness at others.
