"What a band! I'm bowled
over at how good the outfit is: the rhythm section
is a monster boogie machine; ZZ's patter flows - he's really
on the case and
entertaining - and JJ's guitar just left me gasping."Roly
Quesnel, Soho Spice, London
"ZZ sounds like a quack
medicine man in the old wild west as he exhorts the audience
to give heed to his songs."
Derby Evening Telegraph
"A true blues eccentric"
Steve Cross, Leicester Blues Club
"...an excellent set of
Chicago-style blues with a raw edge."
Barnsley Chronicle
"God bless ZZ; with a magnetic
stage presence and evocative harp-blowing
style he wowed the punters... and when JJ Kemp's guitar broke
loose it took
the band to even higher planes..."
Matlock Mercury
No nonsense, authentic, rough-round-the-edges,
downtown Chicago... redolent of treasured 78's and mono LPs..."
British Blues Connection
"... clean, tight and rhythmic,
driven along seemingly effortlessly
by (the) drummer.....nice acoustic harmonica a la Sonny Boy
Williamson II helps give the band a 50's Memphis swing"
Blueprint
"he growls and shudders
like a freight train with its cow-catcher come loose."
Folk Roots
"...ZZ's vast knowledge
and deep love of the blues" Blueprint
