"Good British blues bands are rare these days...and Blues'n'Trouble are the best I've heard in a decade"
Brian Close, MELODY MAKER
".....Britain's meanest and cleanest blues merchants" ".....gave us their hearts, rapped up in a speedy, stomping, gut-wrenching brand of blues unequalled by anyone in this country."
Neil Perry, SOUNDS
".....When I enquired about this blazing blues sound issuing from the speakers of a local record shop...the man informed me that it was the new one from Blues'n'Trouble.'
"......with a mix of standards and extremely fine original song, they have captured what the pompous glitzy Americans have lost and reach the point where the music is in direct contact with the nerve ends."
Bob Flynn, NME, review of "No minor keys"
"These guys have a legitimate beef with God for not letting them all be born in Texas, where their rumbusious, motovating guitar-slamming boogie would have made them legends by now."
Charles Shaar Murry, NME
