"... a good, solid, swinging blues band that plays a lot of different
kinds of material with taste and sometimes elegance, too ... all
in all, this is a superior band."

Bruce Iglauer, Alligator
Records
"A tight ensemble sound and an
eclectic, open-ended approach, with lyrics sparkled with contemporary
good humor."

Blues Access
"... a band that's at their best

it all hang out ..."
