Phil Wight - Blues & Rhythm Magazine
"R L Burnside's cut down blues grooves reincarnated - and now living in Finland!" - Mike Garner, Blues News, New Zealand.
"L.R.Phoenix & MR.Mo'Hell Offer Us The Essence Of The Blues Past, While At The Same Time, Creating The Art Of The Blues Future" - John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network.
"Dirty blues is what I like and L.R. Phoenix delivers it. His songs are raw and passionate, played with a hard to beat attitude and a kind of dark atmosphere attached to them. This is the Mississippi Hill Country blues played right!" Przemek Draheim, Blues.pl Magazine
"L.R. draws deeply from the eternal well of blues tradition. Mississippi corn fields are the landscape that irrevocably pops up in one's mind while listening to this conjurer of mighty feelings." – Jukka 'Black River Bluesman' Juhola, Finland
“I sing about what I know; women, whiskey and loneliness. You’re alone so you drink to keep yourself company. One day you get lucky and find a woman, but then she causes you to drink. After a while she leaves and you're back drinking alone. It just goes around and around, until you’re 6 feet in the ground. Bad whisky's like a bad wife, you let them in they'll ruin your life.” – L.R.Phoenix
Hi Leigh, just passing by to say hello. It's a pity that we can't hook up in Italy this time but I'm sure that we'll get other chances soon. Good luck with the shows,
You guys sound great! My drummer and I do a guitar drum duo here in Mississippi, but I just play my resonater guitar in it. Love the electric sound you guys have, gonna have to give it a try some day!
