"The New World Blues digs deeper into Greene's repertoire, which uncoincidentally digs deeper into the blues aspects of his style. With Benoit's help, the taut trio rely on their music and their artistry to create a set that offers an exceptionally transparent group of tracks, devoid of the usual studio album accoutrements. Whereas his past solo efforts have focused more on stand-alone songs, The New World Blues is best consumed as a whole. And while this might not be the best starting point for listeners unfamiliar with Alastair Greene, longtime acolytes will find this album to be further proof of his greatness".
