Sounds Like:
"This 7-piece Hungarian blues band with a British sax player has no problems covering anything and everything from Robert Johnson to Robben Ford and doing it all in their inimitably cheerful jazzy style"
"not every harp player would dare to cover both Charlie Musselwhite and Sonny Boy Williamson I on the same album."
"For some reason, I can't help thinking 'Memphis blues' in connection with this CD, even though it's by no means an accurate description - there's traces of Texas, Chicago and many
other places in the music; yes, and of course Budapest, too."
-by Andres Roots -
"- Has a folk energy to it, and could actually crossover
into Jam Band genre, ala North Mississippi Allstars."
-by Greg Nagy-
" strong band, quite tight and well rehearsed and with a very positive, fun attitude. I like your dynamics and energy. There's a lot to be proud of here."
- by Bruce Iglauer /Alligator records/ -
" Sounds like you are playing with the right spirit."
