"We invite a cast of characters to the session-party, asking each player to bring a couple of songs. Musicians take turns leading and accompanying, and before you know it, a record falls together. Dad always says misery sticks to the tape." - Luther Dickinson.

"The music has weight, seriousness and style." - MOJO

"Thank heaven for the blues. Five stars? Without a doubt! - Blues Matters Magazine

"A musical feast at which we relish every course. By the end, we want more, of course." - Henry I. Carrigan Jr. of Living Blues

"In true rock-and-roll tradition, NMJRFRs were born in the back of a tour bus, and they're everything their name implies: Raucous, rattly, raw, and magnificently loose... a group of road-tested wanderers turned loose for a rip on what they dubbed a potluck session." - Grant Britt of No Depression

"I hope the love in the room can be heard in the music. This record was truly a joy to make." - Cody Dickinson
