What the critics had to say about Joe's first CD

'This is an entertaining disc all the way through' - Living Blues

'Cook has a big toned sound on the harp, his vocals are laidback and mellow, and several of the originals deserve to become clasics'
- Blues & Rhythm

'I don't know where Blue Loon Records keeps finding all these fantastic harp players! Thanks for this one especially!' - Bluzharp

'Joe and his band work well to produce a sound that is right out of the Chicago vein' - Blues News

'When placed against the blues gems of the 50's and 60's, Joe T. Cook's songwriting easily passes muster. His harp is full bodied and full of feeling, while his vocals have zest and charecter.' - Phone Booth

'His taste in cover material - Lightning Slim, Junior Wells, Cotton, Cray, and the immortal Muddy Waters - is thoroughly above reproach.'
- Tom Surowicz (liner notes)

'Very listenable debut album by this Minnesota harpster. CD is tasty and generously served.' - Blues Beat

'Cook and ensemble represent some of Minneapolis' best bluesmen, cream rising to the top in a very competitive blues scene.' - BluesIndy
'Get your hands on this one if you can.' - Tulsa Blues Club
