"As with many blues singers that came before him, John "Blues" Boyd, is a storyteller who lived an interesting life. He has certainly been there, done that, and now is enjoying the opportunity to sing his songs. Great credit goes out to Pugh and his Little Village Foundation for his dedication to discovering and recording these interesting artists, and keeping the blues alive".

"The Notes suggest a comparison of Boyd's vocals to Big Joe Turner, Wynonie Harris, Junior Parker and B.B. King, and there are also echoes of Percy Mayfield, Jimmy McCracklin and even Otis Rush. That's some pretty fast company, but Boyd does not disappoint ... this is a five-star production in every way. It should easily rank among the year's best blues albums".
