- Richard Flohil, Toronto Blues Society (Canada)
"Great entertaining blues that'll put you
in the dancing mood."
- Pierre Jobin, Québec Audio Vidéo Magazine (Canada)
"This band's blues will have your toes tapping
from the first few bars. It's hard to resist!"
- Michel Bilodeau, Blues Illimité Magazine (Canada)
