Treat Me Right is the first album released by Florida bluesman Eric Sardinas. It is noted for its use of traditional recording techniques with each song being recorded in one take without any kind of digital editing, which follows Sardinas's motto "respect tradition" which he had tattooed on his back.

Critical reception

[edit]

The Toronto Star advised: "Don't be misled by his slow-talk intros, for this blues bad-boy soon delivers WWF-calibre guitar slams that sound like Johnny Winter on speed."[3]
