Featuring guest appearances by L.R. Phoenix (UK/FIN), Nikolaj Andersen (DK), Peeter Jõgioja (EST) and Steve Lury (UK), Bullfrog Brown's "Moon and Central" is also the first album cut with Bullfrog's fresh trio line-up of Alar Kriisa on vocals and harmonica, Andres Roots on guitar, and Peeter Piik on bass. Hailed as their finest by fans and critics alike, "Moon and Central" is more electric and eclectic than it's predecessors, more Americana than straight Blues, and already the biggest seller in the band's catalogue.

„Listening to the Leave You Sleepin with the slide guitar, the Years Past Midnight, which salutes for the friend of the band, Dave Arcari and listening to the Blues For Breakfast, which is performed with the cooperation of the mouth-organist Steve Lury, those who have the thorniest taste, can also smack. The value of the audio material is also enhanced by the lyrics of Andres Roots, which remind to the style of Bob Dylan…”
„In total, the trio put a very professional, mature work on the table. If I would have to give a grade, the CD of the Estonian guys clearly deserves an A+.” (Blues van - www.bluesvan.hu)
