"The album is completely refreshing as Wall explores the genre of blues across the ocean, collaborating with artists far from home. As such, Transpacific Blues is a great melting pot of talents and different takes on such a worldwide genre of music".

"When recording an album of covers, for me there have to be certain unwritten rules. Rule number one is to make sure the list of songs is a familiar one. Rule two, if you have guest players featuring then make sure people know who they are. And rule three, make sure you pull it off by putting your own twist on things. Matty T Wall's Transpacific Blues Vol.1 does all this & much more and I for one can't wait to see who is invited to play on Volume 2. This is a solid album to add to any blues collection".

"Joy is Wall's signature, for he has fun playing the blues, and he's aiming here to have a party, even on the slower, more somber tunes. The blazing guitarist is joined on severeal tracks by gusests that include [Dave] Hole, Eric Gales, Walter Trout, Kirk Fletcher, and Kid Ramos ... By the end of Transpacific Blues, Vol. 1, we're out of breath, astonished at the level of guitar playing that's carried us along on its cascading notes and riffs, as well as from the relentless pace of the songs".
