"Made In Mississippi is a belter of an album. Mark Cole and Rick Edwards, do not just "play" the Blues, they "feel" it too. This gives them the edge over many of their contemporaries.....they could easily find themselves being lauded as Britain's Jelly Roll Kings."

For once, here's a group that understands the value of economical songwriting, and Tasty Nuggets reaps the rewards accordingly. While the foursome deliver convincingly authentic electric workouts on Time Marches On and Downhome Blues, the Sons are at their best when they slow down, play less and let the melodies do the talking. Their mellow, gospel-infused version of the classic People Get Ready - a blissfully zoned-out five minutes — shows off their grasp of the less-is-more maxim; meanwhile, Water Will Rise strips almost all the instrumentation away to allow the splendid backing vocalists their moment. Righteous stuff.
