Check out the RAVE REVIEWS about MOTU's New Band:
MOTU & THE ROADHOUSE JESTERS...

"The constant toothy presence of MOTU’s electric guitar is a tightrope walk across a pit of hungry gators in the tradition of blues greats like John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy! "
-The Deli Magazine; Music Recipes from the Big Apple

----
"It doesn’t get any better than this! This is INDIE electric JAM-BAND music at its best!"
- The NYC Underground Muse Magazine.
----
"Such passionate, and impressive, music says volumes about the talent possessed by MOTU."
-Neufutur Magazine
----
"Dr Richard (motu) is a fabulous slide guitarist complimented by solos/rhythms from George Gashonia’s hands. Carl Olsen has maybe one of the best bass sounds for a local blues band out there. Ed Modzel keeps a clear-cut downbeat...(and) Dee Chetta’s voice; powerfully open, conquering delicate melodies, and dexterous vocal lines with soul....they are the best part of an Oreo cookie...even without milk."
-GoodTimes Magazine

----
"The new one from MOTU & The Roadhouse Jesters is chock full of rockin' good blues. Pop it in the CD player and crank it up! "
- Jerry Schaefer, host of Graveyard Blues on Long Island, NY's ONLY Classic Rock Station 103.9 WRCN FM.
----
"I plan on playing it at many summer BBQ’s coming up. This is a feel good and have a drink type of music. Thank you MOTU!"
-Skope Magazine
----

NO REFUNDS / NO EXCHANGES is MOTU's Ninth (9th) Official CD Release! It contains some blues classics along with a some great MOTU originals. It again demonstrates the versatility, and skill, of guitarist Dr. Richard Michelson as well as his accomplished associates on this disc.

"Sounds like wind blowing in a wheatfield, train rolling down the line, rain coming down on a old tin shed, steel, wire and a rusty heart. Boots of leather and dust and ash. Mollasess and coal and stone. Wedding rings and buried bones of love broken and burnt. Tales and the footprints, ravenswings and souls are earnt"
