What the critics are saying:

 

Seductive Blues - This woman really knows what she's doing on the mic and these vocals remind me of Etta James. I like the steamy feel this band lays down. Instrumentally this is top notch and I'd pay a good cover to check this band out.
Orange, California - 20May2008

GRRREAT Vocals and Sax - thatīs what Iīd call a sexy sax! A wonderful song and nice lyrics - I loved it!
Neuoetting, Germany - 01Jun2008

Damn - this band has it together. Professional from top to bottom and talk about a big, big sound - There must be AT LEAST a dozen different people on stage here if you count the "gospel choir" in the background.
Carthage, Tennessee - 01Jun2008

Soooothing and lovely, I am now in the mood... you say I got no money too for you for you YEEESSSSS!
Waukegan, Illinois - 29Apr2008
