Sounds Like: "This Memphis super band can deliver the soulful, spirited, and often very funny sounds that first made Beale Street famous." - the MEMPHIS FLYER"If W.C. Handy and Memphis Minnie were still alive, they'd be dancin' hand in hand down Beale Street with a devilish fervor. It's that good!" -
MILES OF MUSIC
"In a town with more blues bands than you can shake a porkpie hat at, the Bluff City Backsliders truly stand out as something unique." - the COMMERCIAL APPEAL "Well-timed and unquestionably interesting, balancing gravity and levity, verisimilitude and the grotesque." BLUES REVUE
