Fat Update of the Chicago Blues Sound - February 14, 2006
This is a great, great blues album. Nick and his band have a fat blues sounds that is heavily influenced by the Chicago Blues masters, but is has a very modern and fresh sound to it. Album is solid throughout and title track sounds best played loud. - 5 STARS!

Modern Chicago Blues - February 5, 2006
If you like Chicago-style blues, you gotta get this CD. This one covers all the styles with modern, fresh, clever lyrics; a tight band with killer keyboards; killer harp; and killer guitar playing. And lots of music for the buck (there's 16 tracks!). This is the best CD yet from Nick Moss and the Flip Tops. Go get it! - 5 STARS!

Worth every penny and more - December 15, 2005
I listen to a lot of blues, and have been playing blues guitar for 10 years. My main influences are Warren Haynes, Muddy Waters, T-bone Walker, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Duke Robillard, Ronnie Earl, Kenny "Blue" Ray, and Jimmy D. Lane among others. And now I can add Nick Moss to that list. In fact, he blows them all away if you ask me.
I had the pleasure (and luck) to see Nick Moss play live at the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland Oregon a few years back, and he was the best performer there that day. Junior Watson, Phil Guy, and Kenny "Blue" Ray were there that same day but Nick Moss was the show stopper. This album is a real testament to how he sounds live.
His other albums are good but this one is great. If you enjoy blues at all, you are sure to love Nick Moss & the Flip Tops. You shouldn't call yourself a fan of blues music until you've heard this CD, because you're missing the best part of it all. - 5 STARS!

He Nails It Time and Time Again
The opening track is a stunner- Hound Dog Taylor re-incarnated! And it keeps getting better from there. Nick Moss just has a feel about his playing and singing that can't be bought or faked. Tasty, thoughtful playing also from the band, and some of the best production values I've ever heard. YOU WILL DIG THIS DISC. —Pete Alinovich

75 minutes of open-mouthed listening
Sadie Mae demonstrates how contemporary may sound the traditional Chicago Blues. More than that, with this album Nick Moss takes the real, authentic Blues up to the level of classical music. There, the words "old" and "new", "now" and "then" loose their sense in the face of an everlasting beauty.
