“A honkin' collection of Southern-style blues rock, Americana, and soul....as bawdy as anything the Black Crowes tried to snag from The Faces or The Stones circa 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile on Main Street' and as groovy and gutsy as Bowie's 'Young Americans.'" -Charleston City Paper

"Good luck finding more finger snapping feel good Rock/Roots/Americana song than offered by Jamie McLean Band" -Relix Magazin
