"New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Vol. 1 is a good-time stunner and worth the hype its lineup boasts. This informal session offers Delta blues and roots music without pretention, artifice, or pedantry, not as an archival referent or re-creation, but a vibrant, evolving musical tradition. Here's to hoping there's enough left over for a second volume".

"The exuberance these veteran musicians felt while recording with their friends is baked into every one of the 47 minutes. You can almost see the grins on their faces as they motor through these untidy blues, folk and rock classics without worrying about chart positions or even if the tapes will be released. Hearing them now is truly like being the proverbial fly on the wall, watching magic happen without any pressure, overdubs or producer calling the shots. It's a fun, raw and abundantly joyous meeting of the minds that any roots Americana loving listener will be thrilled to (finally) hear".

"This one has all the trappings of a "Let's roll the tape and see what happens" kind of session. The joy is palpable and what's better yet, there's a second installment on the way".

"The loosely configured partnership came about on a tour with Mavis Staples, with Musselwhite and the North Mississippi Allstars onboard as the house band. The bus was so uncomfortable that sleep was impossible, so Musselwhite schooled Luther Dickinson on records he should explore, birthing the idea for the session ... You can hear one or more of the participants chuckling softly after each cut, satisfied with themselves and the sound. It's catching - pass it on".
