"By changing up the classics, Branch and Sons Of Blues have space to bear down hard on some chestnuts, and the combination winds up not only illustrating the endurance of the Little Walter songbook but the resiliency of Chicago blues itself".

"This tribute album features fifteen songs, either written by Jacobs or made famous by him, that are re-imagined by Branch and company ... Instead of recreating Little Walter's tunes verbatim Branch gives us a Contemporary blues album that never compromises the spirit and energy of the original recordings ... Branch remains the heir apparent to the great Chicago blues harmonica tradition. This new album from Branch should be heard by every Chicago Blues enthusiast".

"Within his element as a committed Chicago blues harmonica player, Branch has almost no rival ... Now, almost a half century since first getting noticed in Windy City clubs, he's crafted a full-bore tribute album: His commandingly controlled harmonica invigorates "Mellow Down Easy" and 14 more staples with newness of spirit, spry personality and emotional persuasiveness. Though not as stirring, Branch's vocals capably mine the vagaries of hard blues".

"Roots and Branches - The Songs of Little Walter cements Billy Branch's place among the kings as he and his Sons of Blues dedicate this disc to the best who ever did it ... They deliver 14 tracks of the most popular selections from Walter's repertoire, but the band cooked up their own batch of blues, soul, R&B, funk, and gospel grooves to infuse some freshness into the fabric of these classics".
