Press Reviews Relix Magazine- spring issue- the BLBB is a ballsy blues rock outfit that callsTallahassee home... Its self titled CD shows the groupto have a wide array of influences (more than a little Allman Bros). The 8 songs on the disk show the band to be musically proficient as it inflectselements of soul and R&B with slashing southern rock, blues, and jazz. Songs such as the searingslide driven Hypnotized and the blistering Wastin'Time show it can rock hard and heavy while Leavin'Leon has some fluid jazz leads and the acoustic reprise of Wastin' Time shows a more rural blues side with some great slide guitar and wailing harmonica.
