"Made In Mississippi is a belter of an album. Mark Cole and Rick Edwards, do not just
"play" the Blues, they "feel" it too. This gives them the edge over many of their contemporaries.....they
could easily find themselves being lauded as Britain's Jelly Roll Kings." Gordon Baxter Blues in Britain magazine

"Raw, righteous,..the real Delta deal." Leslie Fleury (Radio DJ, Blues Odyssey on KSER)

"You guys are the real deal!"
Will Dawson (sound engineer at Delta Recording Studio, Clarksdale, Mississippi)

"I really liked those Elmore James numbers - you got 'that tone' just right"
Kent DuChaine

"You guys have really got a good little unit there...
I thought that was pretty darn good - you don't have to take a back seat to anybody"
Sonny 'Sunshine' Payne (legendary presenter of King Biscuit Time on Radio KFFA, Helena, Arkansas)

"they give you the spirit and essence that is required and deliver with belief...their playing is indeed atmospheric and complimentary and will get you tapping your feet at the appropriate times...more please guys!"
Blues Matters Magazine

"They are exceptional" John Roberts (Bullfrog Blues Club organiser)
