Jim Ireland has the good taste to be laid-back. Where other artists would have emphasized the text as well as the music, he let these entities speak for themselves. And find their expressions through his sensitive interpretations. A wonderful example is his own "White Potato Blues" which deserves to be a standard, no more and no less. In his artmanship he is excellently supported by his band, The Stage Road Ramblers, where multi-instrumentalist Jim Armenti shines as always. This is laid -back music for laid-back people. - Ingemar Johansson, Gothemburg, Sweden
