Shake-Down album review
/Fabulous review from Grahame Rhodes of Blues in the Northwest - thanks, Grahame!
"... the solo debut from the excellent singer and guitarist and long-time member of Paul Lamb & The King Snakes, is pretty exceptional!"
"When you see a cast-list like this, you know the music is going to be top-notch: Jim Leverton (bass), Jimmy Reiter and Kai Strauss (electric guitars), Christian Rannenberg (piano), Raphael Wressnig (Hammond C-3), Pete Pritchard (double bass), and Mike Thorne (drums), with a guest appearance from Danny Kyle on guitar – a super British and European band for sure!"
"To sum up, one of the best things I’ve heard this year and well worth the wait . . . well done Chad!"
