author: Michael Mccall, The Nashville Scene

I hate this record...
author: Robbie Fulks
...because I didn't make it myself. The drumming and bass playing are very nice. There is a variety of well-crafted songs. And the artist sings his ass, which I happen to know is not very prodigious to begin with, off. Buy it and see.

Makes you remember why you fell in love with music.
author: Libbi Bosworth
El Supremo is rootsy, rockin', soulful, tender and raw. No overly-coy, clever, contrived lines, just the muse of a thinking, feeling man. John oozes cool from every pore without even trying, leaving other singer-songwriters in the dust. He throws around incredible lyrics as if it's an afterthought, not something overwrought. "I Ain't Gonna Drink My Coffee Black No More" is a simple yet potent metaphor for living. "High Tension Line," a beautiful slow waltz with inspired horns, is a great contradiction to its title. The players are excellent, tasty and top notch; the production is a tribute to un-slickness, and when you hear this record, you will know why John Sieger is a huge star already to those who know him.

Everytime I hear High Tension Line I'm reminded of what a great songwriter Sieger is. His roots are deep in rythm and blues, rock and roll, and Americana.There's more than that but that gives you a start. Deep. This CD shows it soup to nuts.It's got soul,Johns soul. And he shares it with us.
Wait 'till you hear him scream I Want You. I love this CD! GT
