"Bobby doesn't just perform the blues. He's possessed by them. He plays so angry and sings so hurt, it's like a catharsis - maybe even an exorcism - for both him and the audience... Be glad he's on your side. He's fierce all right, but he won't attack you; he'll drive away your demons. If, on the other hand, you fancy yourself a guitar player... be afraid. Be very afraid." Steve Hoffmann, WDCU-FM, Washington, DC
“It doesn’t get any hotter than that!” John Hammond, Jr.
