Album Notes

"The members of The Juleps have brought the high energy and rhythms of their primary rock and roll gigs, infused them with a little twang and a touch of blues, and then added some well-crafted lyrics, resulting in a tasty musical stew..." Al Kunz -- Rockzillaworld

"Their mutual respect and laid-back attitude yields a cool, smooth product." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"It's pretty hard to find a band who can play a Billy Joe Shaver song better than 'ol Billy Joe himself, but their live version of 'Hottest Thing In Town' might be the track that changes that theory forever..."
Bill Holmes -- Cosmik Debris Magazine

"Marvelous harmonies - both voices and lead guitars. Super musicianship, extraordinary lyrics and delicious song writing. Healthy turn out in a warm room too. Honky Tonk with balls..." Ben Ruth -- Chicago Local Bands
