"... conjuring up every Technicolor angel and demon in my sizable collection of guitar LPs. With barely a breath between tunes, they ripped through instrumental versions of Stax hits, cranked up Buddy Holly numbers, a Buck Owens medley, an Ike Turner blues, Santo and Johnny... Incendiary soulful solos were passed back and forth like a bottle of Thunderbird. Sly bursts of chicken pickin punctuated speedy breaks. Mock steel-guitar bends were wrenched from regular guitar strings..."

Reviews of Beneath the Blue:
“A delight to listen to, the disc also serves as a master class in understatement and tonal mastery.”
Barry Cleveland, Guitar Player
“The Blob theme is a perfect illustration of what Levine does so well - bending and manipulating notes until the track becomes an almost encyclopedic guitar experience. His runs at the end are truly amazing...”
John Heidt, Vintage Guitar
