Press Reviews "Refreshing, alive and full of soul. The Sultans have effectively smashed the myth that anybody can play the blues and that it’s all the same. (Scott Mitchell’s) reputation as one of the finest, most inventive guitarists in the Southwest is no exaggeration-"MICHAEL HENNINGSEN - SENIOR EDITOR, WEEKLY ALIBI "Regardless of the size of the crowd or the house, I guarantee you this: these cats came to play and that is exactly what they do! It all counts. They don’t waste a note. I don’t think Albuquerque will have the luxury of keeping The Sultans to ourselves much longer."CATHY RAY - EDITOR, ABQ. BLUES SOCIETY BLUES RAG "…this powerful trio nails traditional blues and roots on the head with consummate ease…"KEVIN HOPPER - ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL "…I enjoyed this CD quite a lot. It’s got a good raw roots feel that reminds me quite a bit of the Paladins and the Blasters and other rootsy guitar driven bands. …a very good guitarist with a strong attack and good execution…not just a bunch of flashy notes."BRUCE IGLAUER - PRESIDENT, ALLIGATOR RECORDS "The Sultans play some of the wickedest blues I have heard this side of London or Austin. They rock, period. No prissy stuff here-"DELIVERANCE BENEDICT - WEEKLY ALIBI "For awhile its been said that Scott Mitchell is the best lead guitar player in the state."MIC LINE MAGAZINE
