“I love country blues and don’t hear much these days so I was happy to hear the new CD by Son Jack Jr. He must really love country blues because he sure has the feel”.
Rich Del Grosso (www.mandolinblues.com) "A good variety of grooves with some very solid original material. His guitar playing was strong with shades of John Lee Hooker and Blind Willie Johnson. I've become a big fan of the North Mississippi hill country music, so Poor Black Mattie really caught my ear. I like it!"

"...Delta blues at it's finest..."
James "Curley" Cooke (www.cookengreen.com)"The 1st time I heard Son Jack Junior's CD, I honestly thought I was listening to John Lee Hooker. Since seeing him perform, I believe he is deeply connected to traditional Delta Blues, and his playing, singing, and writing, are a testimony to this. He is "rooted" in the blues"
"Son Jack Jr. is one of the premier delta blues and roots music performers on the scene today. From the first chord on his Guitar to the first word out of his mouth, you realize that you are listening to the real deal. He is one of those rare performers that should not be missed and should be seen by anyone who is serious about their music".
"Son Jack Jr. is 1/2 Country Bumpkin, 1/2 City Slicker and 100% Pure Blues Talent! "
"Son Jack Jr. is the “Real Deal” in the spirit of the Delta blues. I can feel his deep passion for the blues in his playing, lyrics, and performances. He blends nicely with the greats of Son House, Fred McDowell, and the many other old time Delta blues musicians. Son Jack’s new CD – “When the Devil Calls” is an excellent testimony to his song writing and creative lyrics. As a follower of the Delta blues myself, it’s a great honor to know and listen to Son Jack Jr."
"I've been playing country blues most of my life ,so I know the Real thing when I hear it. Son Jack Jr. is the REAL Thing! this CD sounds like an update to Old masters Like Charley Patton, Willie Brown , Robert Johnson and early acoustic Muddy Waters! THIS IS GOOD!!"
