"Foley and her band -- bassist Jon Penner, drummer Chris Layton (of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble fame), and Hammond B-3 organist, producer Mike Flanigin -- got together with engineer Chris Bell over three days in a San Marcos, Texas studio and cut these 12 tracks live on the floor. Foley's focus is the Texas blues and the artists who embody them in a set of covers and originals. She captures the Lone Star blues styles with raw energy, passion, and stellar musicianship. Pinky's Blues is unruly, wooly, joyful, and unprocessed. Its looseness is possible because Foley enlisted musicians who know the tradition and trust one another to deliver it with unvarnished intensity, without artifice." (Allmusic)
