What
The Press Say About The Barcodes
"The sound of midnight
shadows. Sonic light and shade; B3 and electric piano, with wizard
harmonica stylings. Tough stuff, tenderly and imaginatively delivered."
(Pete Sargeant - Blues Matters)
"Thirteen great tracks from this Blues/Jazz trio. It rocks along and
brings to mind the image of a smoke-filled jazz club. Definitely one
that will be in the "Now Playing" section of my CD collection for quite
sometime to come." (Paul Stiles - Blues in
Britain)
"Their long-awaited new album which is dominated by their unique
Jazz/Blues feel. Plenty of Alan Glen's harmonica on this." (Ken Smith -
Red Lick)
"Cool Hammond-fuelled blues with ex-Yardbird Alan Glen." (Time
Out)
