Press Reviews "For Blues fans, the name Tomcat Courtney conjures up all sorts of things having to do with dark bars, hard times, good lovin'-and of course, being done SERIOUSLY wrong...It's not an overstatement to say that Courtney's voice is as BLUESY sounding as anyone who has ever recorded in the genre. And God knows he has the heart blues phrasing demands" --SLAMM MAGAZINE
