"At this point in his career, Rush shouldn't be expected to creatively reinvent himself, and that doesn't happen on Sitting on Top of the Blues. But he's not just in full command of his talents here, he's making better use of them in the studio than he did on most of his sessions in the '90s and 2000s, and the result is an album as satisfying as 2016's Grammy-winning Porcupine Meat".

"His 26th studio effort, with solid veterans Vasti Jackson and Scott Billington joining him as producers, shows that Rush is still a formidable singer and harmonica player. While privileging blues over any other genre, he welcomes soul, rock and Johnny Watson-ish funk modalities".

" ... the 85-year old singer and harmonica man has assumed the position of a reigning elder statesman who is truly Sitting on Top of the Blues. The 11 selctions on this set were composed by Rush and represent a mastery of a wide range of approaches to the blues genre".
