CD REVIEWS
"Lost in Missisippi" is an absolutely tight and attractive album. This record is pure fun. Give Us More!!
Dietmar Hoscher , Concerto Magazine, Austria, June/July 2001
With their elegant chord changes, punchy melodies, soulful backing vocals and two strong creative personalities at the helm, they might be the closest thing to Steely Dan to be found in Blues.
Ed Ivey, Blues Revue November 2001
This Disc might be said to be a guilty pleasure for this writer, but they consistently lay down a strong groove, Bare sings soulfully, and there is fine support from the various players.Also, the songs certainly are not simply the same old hackneyed themes one has heard before.
Ron Weinstock, Cadence Magazine/November 2001
The Messiahs play in a rocked-out New Orleans style that suits their concept.
Living Blues Nov/Dec 99
There was some really good musicianship here, some tasteful playing and cool grooves. I particularly liked "Lost in Mississippi."
Bruce Iglauer/Alligator Records
Just got this CD last night at the studio-funny as hell. You guys are sick and I dig it! Played Crawdaddy-O on tonight's show.
Jimmie-WNSB FM Norfolk VA
A mixture of Funk and Blues that makes you tap your feet, with some growling lyrics provided by front man Doug Bare. Unique and inventive, but essentially down home New Orleans music.
WWOZ New Orleans
They're great players who have added a storyboard element to an organic guitar, organ and drum framework. Nice work!
Ed Ivey, Blues Revue Magazine, Jan/Feb 2000
Not exactly 'Joe's Garage' but similar in structure and content, with over-the-top New Orleans soul and rock replacing Zappa freakishness.
Blues Access Winter 1999
If you like exotic things, you will enjoy this good CD. Based on blues, you can find on it a little touch of funk, hard core, gospel, and even just a little bit of punk. Instrumentally speaking, this drum, guitar, keyboard and synthesizer trio is good in all the ways through. A very special good record.
La Hora de Blues- Barcelona, Spain
The Band is a real good band. The vocals have a great tone. The Guitar is great. The solos are nice. You know, it sounds like that 'South of I-10 music that I love. The real Mardi Gras Music. I enjoyed it very much. I'd like to see you live.
Johnny Sandlin / Producer for Capricorn Records / Allman Brothers
The Messiahs Funk out some of the best butt-bustin', butt-thrustin', behind the beat grooves around. These guys are a riot, I'd hang with them anytime.
Dirty Linen - August 2001
Original material, sound vocals and great instrumentation are the hallmark of this independently produced album. The boys really identified themselves right when they coined their name 'Funky Blues Messiahs' for that is what this album is made of. This one is a solid 'A'.
