 Notes & Reviews
 
Piano Red's music lacks the complex harmonics of much of today's music, however, much of today's music lacks the honesty, the spirit, and the immediacy of Red's steady beat and the flourishes that have always characterized his playing. Piano Red gives life to the blues. He never did 'play' music, he has always 'created it'. =Atlanta Bounce= doesn't disappoint.
- Thomas L Carson, 03/07/1999, USA

Two distinct timeframes are represented on this slightly schizophrenic disc. Much of it is comprised of latter-day barrelhouse and blues waxed by Arhoolie, but there's also a thrilling handful of raucous live items from a 1956 concert at Atlanta's Magnolia Ballroom that capture the albino 88s ace at his most enthralling. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
