"The mix on Way Down South is saturated and warm. This album sounds ridiculously close to spinning an actual record, strangely close for a CD release. Given the album art with its mock ring wear, it's not hard to believe that this was a deliberate decision. The whole thing seems to be engineered to be a nostalgia tour of sorts, which isn't all that surprising or revolutionary for a southern blues record. What makes Way Down South special is that it does this so well".
