Payin' the Price is one of the best new blues songs written in years and this might be the best blues album released this year... it might as well be from deep down in Mississippi” - Jeremy Loome, Edmonton Sun (Canada)"Cleverly crafted... it will get them all moving” - Blues Matters (UK)"It was one of the best nights we have had for near on a year with the place just humming."
