Blues Revue Magazine

Big City Blues Magazine
"Got A New Plan IS the blues, steeped in tradition and showcasing Nick Moss' drive to keep the blues fresh, strong, vibrant and burning... On the standard blues 'Poison Ivy' Nick sings 'I don't like to brag, I don't like to say what I do... are you listening?' Yes, Nick Moss, we ARE listening; we like what we hear and it IS time for you to brag. [Nick Moss & the Flip Tops] can cut it out and lay it on the platter—deep, moving, soulful and uplifting blues."

Jazz & Blues Report
"With the year 2002 winding down, Chicago guitarist/vocalist Nick Moss' album makes it under the wire for consideration as one of the year's best blues discs. Moss, late of the Legendary Blues Ban, has concocted a raucous, infectious set with a distinctly Windy City edge."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Dahl:
"Nick keeps his guitar work precisely to the point and razor-sharp, his vocals are confident and convincing, and he's a prolific songwriter."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dick Shurman:
"With Got A New Plan, Nick Moss builds upon the strengths of his debut CD, First Offense, and applies his powerful and personal brand of blues to an even broader range of styling, with the same impressive authority and conviction. Give Nick Moss and the Flip Tops the time and ear they deserve—it's the listener who'll be doing the flipping!"
