“Joel plays a mean guitar and has one of the best voices, period, that I have ever heard. Tom Burns plays harmonica like no one else in the harp world. I must have played nothing else for over a month after I got it.” – American Harmonica Newsletter
“Good humor and high spirits” – Living Blues
“Less inspired bands can make the blues feel like a dull history lecture, but the durable Joel Johnson Band always keeps it fun and interesting, thanks to its vast stylistic command and three snappy song writers” – Minneapolis Star Tribune
“All the material is original and is a heady mixture of punchy R&B, jazzy string-benders, in-the-alley blues, and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll” – Blues & Rhythm
"This CD is in my favorite Top Ten list period. I listen to this more than anything else I have. Tom Burns is magical on harp and Joel Johnson sings and plays guitar like he was was born to." – BluzHarp
