Billy Branch plays harmonica on I Can Count On My Blues
Throat-ripping drive, and his delivery is as sharp as a stiletto point." --ROLLING STONE
"He has total command of his instrument, and the result is awesome. . . ferocious attack, vicious, searing guitar and passionate singing." --DOWNBEAT
"Son Seals grew up next door to a Delta juke joint, and his music is an authentic, modern extension of the traditions created by men like Muddy Waters and Robert Nighthawk. But you don't have to take a crash course in the blues before you can appreciate a Son Seals performance. He kicks into overdrive the minute he hits the stage, running on an explosive mixture of blues, funk, rock and roll,and crackling electricity." -- Robert Palmer, Pop Music Editor of THE NEW YORK TIMES and author of DEEP BLUES
