Reviews

Blues & Rhythm - Ray Templeton

The music is mostly true blues, the performances unmistakably authentic, the recordings spontaneous-sounding and full of energy.

Juke Blues - Alan Empson

One striking factor with this release (apart from the sheer quality of the music) is that the songs are for the most part originals.

fRoots

Raw and real music the big labels missed.
