Blues in Britain magazine in a live review described the album’s new songs as ranging from “a driving, snare-led Motor City number, where Saiichi’s singing-tone Les Paul soars into a furious, rocking close” via “boppy, poppy soul” to the “smoky pulse with a fine expressive spacious solo over the gradually intensifying beat”, “an intriguing mix of what had gone before” with “gooseflesh-raising peaks and grin-inducing solos … a real winner”.
The band’s live performance was described as “a joyous at once familiar and fresh experience” by the Tonemonkey website. This tour by Saiichi and theband represents a true chance for lovers of soulful, lyrical guitar music to witness a real artist at work: don’t miss out!
