“Breathes new life into classic sounds… a Memphis tour-de-force.”

Meredith Ochs, NPR’s All Songs Considered

“A band steeped in tradition but with a thoroughly updated sound… a bubbling stew of Southern-fried soul.”
Steve Jones, USA Today

“There aren’t enough superlatives in the dictionary & thesaurus combined to lavish on The Royal Sessions… unquestionably one of the best releases of 2004.”
Lou Friedman, Musictoday

“This is funky, greasy, gritty soul, rooted in the tradition, but timeless in its heat-seeking groove stealth….”
Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

“Memphis soul legends in the making.”
The Memphis Flyer
