Detroit blues

"It's not as glitzy and bombastic as other modern blues, because it leans heavily on older traditions that have been largely ignored in recent years. That is unfortunate, because the album is a winner on many levels. Nuance, authenticity, and emotive playing factor into every track of the set. If not for the fertile mind and practiced hands of Kroha, the concept might not have worked so well. For those willing to listen attentively, they will find a modern blues gem that has both feet firmly in the past and in the present. It is a masterful feat, and Detroit Blues might be Danny Kroha's best work to date".

"Kroha's take on folk-blues numbers like "Oh Death" and "Leavin' Blues" feel like substantial evolutions from their original versions, and throughout Detroit Blues he refreshes material that is, in some cases, nearly a century old with a patchwork of captivating revisions and reconsiderations. It's another unsurprisingly fantastic chapter of Kroha's discography, one where his inventive spirit expands on the possibilities of traditional songs until they become something new and all his own".
