"One listen to Bull Halsey throws the rock-n-roll mind into reverse, to a time when young British kids like The Yardbirds, The Animals, and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers were teaching other Brits (and Americans) how much the Delta blues had an impact on rock music. This isn't today's disposable garage-rock re-hash, this is a textbook from Music Appreciation, and class is in session."
- Matt Mertha, The Red Butlers
"...next song up is another hold over request from
last week, called the Guv'ness.
A man calls after the song ends. He wants me to play
it again. I say will do. He says now. I say next
week. He huffs and asks, "would you call it
Rockabilly, Blues, or Rockabilly-Blues?"
And as I wondered what button to push next he said,
"It's just real music and that's why you should play
it now."

Hey Bull Halsey...It's been a while. Great to hear ya again. Thanx for the invite to your myspace. I will try to check you guys out at the Manchester gig. Keep the blues alive. Peace!
Shout for joy onto Jah, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music onto JAH with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn-- shout for joy before the Lord Of Lords, King Of Kings!
Bull Halsey, Nice and slick already. Tight! Thanks for inviting us aboard. Always remember the late, great Fred "Sonic" Smith who helped put Detroit rock on the map.
