The Reviews Are In!!

"Songs with a discernable but still attention-grabbing verse chorus form, appealing lyrics and first rate arrangements. Nothing artificial added."
Allison King - Triad Style

"It's always a pleasure to hear a solid band that knows what it's about and gets right to the musical point. Big Mama's sound is rock flirting with funk, and Emma Davis is the engine driving that sound."
Phillip Van Vleck - Durham Herald Sun

Took me by surprise, it was so good!

You absolutely can't listen to this CD without moving something. Tap your foot, nod your head, play your air guitar along with these accomplished musicians, and wish you could ever play half as well. And Emma Davis' voice and style are truly captivating. I especially like the funky sound of "Bittersweet". Where can I get more?

Big Mama and her Cool Boys plays outstandig Rock with a touch of Cajun and R & B. Little Feat meets Bonnie Raitt and The Swamp Boogie Queen.The voice of Emma Davis is one of the best in rock business. Great melodic Songs and a great band. High Maintenance is perfect rock-music entertainment.
