"Fresh from the agricultural slurries of a Missouri farm upbringing and much more recently the 2020 International Blues Challenge (IBC) winner in the solo/duo category, Hector Anchondo takes us back to the root and branches of the blues with a dozen acoustic originals that represent his love for past and present masters (think Taj Mahal, Keb' Mo', etc) ... Anchondo also brings flavors of Americana and folk to this easy listening release, not to mention the swing feel and gypsy jazz of "Strike It Down". Sensitive and soulful, the roots-orientated blues fan is sure to find something to dig here".

"Hector Anchondo bares his soul on this one, spanning sorrow and joy with sensitivity and without ever being dark or overpowering. If you're a fan of quality songwriting - and fretwork, too, Let Loose Those Chains is right up your alley".

"Every so often a wonderful surprise comes along, and this is one of them. Let Loose Those Chains is one of the most finely crafted, song driven blues releases of this year ... With my vote, Anchondo will go from a 2020 IBC winner to at least a BMA nomination, if not a win for Acoustic Blues Album. It's already a huge winner for this writer".
