| Marc Frijlink - Blues Train Radio, the Netherlands |
"It is a great album and it is also good to hear that good blues is still coming from Europe! I love the traditional approach of Depot have and the Chicago touch on Payday." |
|
| Ashwyn Smyth - Digital Blues & Blues Matters Magazine |
"…very good harp.." " ..a raw, front porch on a hot night feel…"
"I liked these four tracks; only wish there were more. I enjoyed the stripped down feel & loved the interplay between the two members of the duo and their instruments. This is blues with a very authentic, old style feel but with the inclusion of a flute, with a modern twist. |
|
Kjell Andreassen - Radio Holstebro, Denmark |
"When I got the CD I thought, blues and flute, can that go together? And let me say at once, yes it can. Andy is playing a great guitar, which goes very good with Mat's voice."

"..it hits you between the eyes with it's vitality and freshness." "The songs are uniformly great." "..manages to be exultant and down-to-earth at the same time."
