Billy Boy Arnold

"A blues legend is back...The grand Chicago blues sound of the 1950s presented with authenticity and vitality by an underappreciated harmonica great."
  --CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"Arnold blows fine in the old Chicago style with a meaty, undiminished attack."
-Rolling Stone

"Arnold is singing and playing harp as well as ever...he remains a creative musician rather than a mere caricature of his former self."
-Living Blues

"Triumphant..."
-Billboard

"A fully realized, wide ranging blues workout, as authentic as it is joyous...."
-CD Review

"Contrasting melodic hooks and rhythms...boundless energy and original blend of elements...Arnold excels in rhumba-boogies, quick shuffles, and deliberately mid-tempo drags; he gives his stories entertaining, close-up details, and his harp is recorded with glorious in-your-face presence."
-Audio

"Arnold hasn't lost anything to the years. He still blows his mouth-harp in the wah-wah riff style of his mentor Sonny Boy Williamson, and his vocals have grown deeper, darker and fuller with age... implying a hard-earned experience the teenaged Arnold could only guess at."
-Washington Post

"Veteran Chicago blues singer/harpist Arnold can swing from suave to raunchy in a heartbeat."
-New Review Of Records

"Chicago blues harpist and singer Billy Boy Arnold delivers the goods...distinctive."
-Los Angeles Daily News

"A gritty, expressive vocalist and harmonicat...jagged harmonica playing in the country-rooted style of Sonny Boy Williamson."
-Request

"Arnold is smoother and more powerful than ever. Highly recommended."
-Jazz Times

"In the hands of Billy Boy Arnold, the blues can sound as lively as a razor fight in a Mississippi juke joint. Matching the lilting drive of Chuck Berry with the ominous power of Muddy Waters, Arnold earns much respect for keeping the blues alive and well."
-Option

"Arnold is a powerful purveyor, innovator, and certified master of the Chicago blues sound created by Muddy Waters and Little Walter. Combining his soulful vocals with poignant harp riffs and crafty songwriting, Arnold's musicianship authenticates his place among the great blues harmonica players in history."
