"...propulsive, beautifully crafted acoustic blues..." "Yes, acoustic country-blues still lives in Cambridge. The city used to be a hotbed of the music—and the tradition continues with McQuaid, an accomplished local singer and picker who not only knows who Blind Lemon Jefferson is, but can play that music with the brilliance it deserves. McQuaid is a true joy"
"From the first
wistful, slightly out of tune note of Blind Willie McTell’s “East St Louis
Blues”, to the final up-tempo number “Rag Mama Rag”, I was captivated by
this CD." "All
the songs have me either tapping my foot or singing along. There is variety
of feel, style and pace, in fact everything to enjoy. Rating 10"
