Kingfish

"Many of the live shows and songs I've seen Kingfish do are really wild and have some over the top guitar here and there. The work here is much more restrained and yet is equally enjoyable (if not better) ... The vocal and guitar work here is clean, precise and very well done. The guitar is restrained but effective. The solos are not overdone and showcase the skills of this fine young musician. It really is a great CD and Kingfish Ingram really has grown up to become a superb bluesman. I recommend this one highly!".

"It's almost like he's singing through the guitar: Every utterance, every little ghost phrase, is rendered with exactitude. He might be landing on the low-down dirty notes, but he's hitting them cleanly. In a way that breathes mighty new life into worn-out guitar-showman cliches. This emphasis on crisp execution makes literally every Ingram solo on the album a dramatic event. On the up-tempo stuff, he tears through blistering lines with the easygoing assurance of a road-dog veteran. Then when it's slow-blues time, he makes the guitar moan".

"His mature vocal style ultimately belies his young baby face, while his wicked, wide vibrato betrays his worldly ways around the neck of the guitar. His self-titled debut album, Kingfish, reveals he's a triple threat as an accomplished instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter ... Alligator Records owner Bruce Iglauer has done it again - he's paired a top-notch producer [Tom Hambridge] with the heralded arrival of a guitarist who is, by any measure, one of the brightest new stars of his generation".
