| What reviewers said...
A rare live moment ... a raw, unrehearsed snapshot in time. With Neal Pattman (born Georgia USA 1926) on vocals and harmonica, plus Peter Gelling on guitar, blues goes back ... to the bare-roots sound ... Each song has it's own unique rustic flavour that shines out from the talents [of] these two musicians ... For those who want to take a trip back to the cotton fields and enjoy the raw mystical interplay that only a live unrehearsed jam can capture ... this is for you . Mark 'Radar' Watson (Mr. Blues) website, 16 September 2001 Gelling's foresight in seeking the session and the instant melding of two wonderfully complementary talents offer us a musical session bordering on the magical. Michael Foster, The Canberra Times, 16 July 2001. Despite coming from different generations, the two musicians share an undeniable connection. Gelling's deep understanding of the blues and his obvious musical talent enabled him to create a comfortable environment for this wonderful singer ... Pattman is blessed with a seductive, sensitive voice, while his harmonica playing, never overbearing or abrasive, is at all times complementary to the mood of each song. The standard of performance on the album is such that highlights can be found on virtually every track. Billy Pinnell, Rhythms magazine, October 2001. |
