Quotes

Blues Access #42 / Summer 2000

Wow! One of the finest - if not the finest - guitar albums I've heard in a while. Bobby Keyes on guitar leads his trio of Craig Macintyre on drums and Sean Hurley on bass through 12 dazzling instrumental pieces. Not since the Chet Atkins/Mark Knopfler duo CD have I heard such pristine guitar work. A MUST HAVE for guitarists.

The Boston Phoenix July 7, 2000

Keyes has a big voice as a guitarist. Not only is he versatile, he evokes an entire era of classic playing with his careful but generous use of reverb and vibrato on tunes like "Roll The Dice." He's also capable of reimagining a chestnut like Duke Ellington's "Caravan" as something Speedy West might have played on the Grand Ole Opry stage.
