* From the Lisa Walker Benefit Concert, "Well done Delta Blues with a wink and a grin, these guys are too much fun."

Rick brings the wonder of BLUES back to me!
author: peter LiebowitzI love the variety and the richness of the songs and music. Extremely accurate and just wonderful to listen to. This is not only preserving the powerful history of a an All American music tradition, but it is just plain FUN to listen to. Thanks so much for creating this CD. Please do many more!

Hey, Hollywood! We've listened to the soundtrack, now give us the movie!
author: Robson Lelles, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilListen to this and you will feel yourself at the margin of the Mississipi, surrounded by the atmosphere of the Twenties. Those guys managed to join voices, guitars and mood to bring back one of the sharpest musical images ever created over the Delta melodies in this so-called modern era. Now we just have to wait that Hollywood come up with the movie - the perfect soundtrack is already available in this album. God bless you, guys! Cheers from Brazil!
