“One Step Forward is an album of what happens when you bring multiple talented musicians from different Blues Flavors and put them together - Magic!! Not your everyday blues, the CD is jammed packed with high energy blues tunes that touch on Jazz, Jump Blues, Hill Country Blues, Chicago and even a little delta influences in there. The CD rolls along very well and was produced and recorded at the highest of industry standards.

The Guitarist/Singer of the band leads the bands through twists and turns like going through the backroads of Mississippi. I particularly like his vocals and guitar work on the first song on the CD, what a way of starting this energy packed project. Waverly Milor is the talented Singer/Harpist that brings his diverse love of all music into each song. His original Blind Love has always been a favorite of mine and their arrangement of Shake em on down is brilliant. Rounding out the group is Jason Walker on Cajon and other contraptions and Randy Ball on upright. Both that really lay down the foundation for the band.

Nothing but good things to say about this CD and band. Not your typical blues shuffle bands (not that there is anything wrong with that), but if your looking for something lively and new, this is it.” – Sedalia Blues Society
