'Norcia's vocals are so refined that he has been called 'The Tony Bennett of the blues'. His harp playing is second to none and his choice of material is aimed at pure, party-style incitement.' Al Kircaldy for Wire Magazine - Anon., 06/13/2001 'We are talking elite, rarefied, cream of the crop Blues talent here. The new disc does not disappoint. The beauty of this congregation is that Sugar Ray doesn't have to carry this band. Guitarist Kid Bangham, Mudcat Ward on bass and Neil Gouvin on drums are all immensely talented musicians. No over the top, in your face histrionics. Just polished, but not polite, harmonica based Blues.' Greg Sarni for The Boston Beat - Anon., 06/13/2001 'Simply put, this is blues... stripped-down, raw, emotional, and heartfelt.. . Stellar work by Mudcat and Gouvin, one of the finest rhythm sections anywhere, goes a long way in getting to the core of Sugar's big voice and juiced harp, an Kid Bangham puts on a clinic of tasteful and drilling guitar.' Craig Ruskey for Blues Onstage - Anon., 06/13/2001 Full title is: Rockin' Sugar Daddy
