"Guitarist, slide guitarist, harmonica ace, and producer Donnie Walsh, the big daddy of the Canadian blues, has made his Juno Award-winning band Downchild an institution of the blues up north since 1969 ... The band is tight and functionally smooth, creating big fat sound steeped in jump. Chicago, and boogie-woogie blues traditions ... Walsh's prowess as songwriter and arranger is evident on Can You hear the Music, a fine album of swinging songs that keeps your foot stomping non-stop. Great tunes and tasty instrumentation".
