"Nemeth exploits the full-on band sound, with its horn-driven echoes and bounces, to full extent here and shows another, more experimental side to his character. As a frequent blues award nominee, he is well aware of the needs and expectations of blues fans but is evidently prepared to stick his neck out a bit with this one, taking listeners on a delightful journey through soul and blues that isn't simple or anchored in the usual twelve-bar format. This is an album that will surprise some but should also cement his growing reputation as a guy with real blues vision".

"Esquire magazine describes Nemeth's voice as "magnificent". His emotive vocals are even more beautiful when accompanied by this five piece horn section. This ambitious undertaking is a huge success as performed by Nemeth and The Love Light Orchestra. The ten members inspire each other and Nemeth has never sounded better. This is a must to own as it just might be the "Album of The Year"".

"Recording at Memphis's Bar DKDC, vocalist John Nemeth and the nine-man Love Light Orchestra give thanks to the long-ago Memphis big bands of B.B. King, Bobby Bland and Junior Parker. Twelve well-performed updates of classics should prompt listeners to seek out the original music".

"Inspired by Bobby "Blue" Bland's Turn on Your Love Light, vocalist John Nemeth, saxophonist Marc Franklin, who toured with Bland, and guitarist Joe Restivo assembled the ten-piece Love Light Orchestra to capture the big band-style blues music of Memphis of the 1950s and 1960s ... we are transported back to a different time and musical space. There's also a spiritual element to this album - the feelings of joy and unity fostered by the lyrical rhythms, Nemeth's vocals and the musical chemistry of the musicians are palpable and carry us to another plane ... it's not too much to say that this is one of the best albums of the year".
