"Nick Moss decided to steer his band back to his first love, the greasy boogie of Chicago blues, around the time he hired harpist Dennis Gruenling as a featured musician toward the beginning of 2017. Not long afterward he signed to Alligator, that stalwart of Chicago blues, and cut The High Cost of Low Living, a jumping little record that keeps the postwar dreams alive".

"... Moss comes at it hard, putting out muscular, hard-drving, traditional Chicago style blues. Gruenling is all over him, jabbing and slashing at every opening. But traditional in this case doesn't mean covers. Of the thirteen entries here, Moss wrote eight, Gruenling contributing two for an eccletic mix of jump blues, rockabilly, and down and dirty, deep-dish Chicago blues ... It's a high quality debut with plenty of room for both to stretch out in later on".

"Moss is wise enough to share his billing with an able support crew that now includes harmonica virtuoso Dennis Gruening [sic], at this point clearly one of the best in the biz. Consequently, The High Cost of Low Living, the duo's debut under the venerable Alligator Records banner, yields a super summit of sorts, one that finds Moss and Gruenling trading licks in a full throttle demonstration of sheer boogie, verve and instrumental agility".
