"Travelin' the Dirt Road is nothing more or less than two bluesmen - harmonica player Bob Corritore and singer-guitarist Dave Riley - and a handful of friends cutting loose on acoustic and electric blues. Even though all of the songs on Travelin' the Dirt Road are originals, Corritore and Riley are less interested in innovation than delving deeply into blues tradition ... Many of these songs run four, five, six, and even seven minutes, allowing Corritore and Riley plenty of space to jam. With the addition of bass, drums, a second guitar on many cuts, and an occasional piano, Travelin' the Dirt Road is a solid and enjoyable outing".

"Originally released on Blue Witch records in 2007, Bob Corritore has remastered and updated this great album of 10 original Dave Riley cuts and a pair of tunes written by Dave's longtime friend and bandmate John Weston ... Bob Corritore's vault of music is like a diamond mine; it has so many gems in it ready for the picking, cleaning up and releasing. I enjoyed listening to and reviewing their first collaborative album together Lucky To Be Living in 2009 on Blue Witch (along with 2013's Hush Your Fuss! and relish finally adding this set of tunes to my collection. It's really great stuff!".
