"“New Orleans-based pianist Lee Pons lays his 88s and voice bare on Big Boogie Voodoo. A rollicking tribute to the Maharajah, James Booker (in Dr. James) precedes the almost elegiac, “Georgia”-flavored “Blues for Naw’lins,” the stately instrumental “Gospel According to Lee,” and the lascivious “Buttend Boogie.” “Me Minus You” is Ray-Charles-style blues. All this by way of saying that Pons shows a broader range than many blues and boogie-woogie pianists, although he can pound a Pete Johnson-style instrumental with the best of them (“Boogie-Robics”). While “Her Mind is Gone” bears the Caribbean polyrhythms of Professor Longhair’s playing, Pons sensibly sings it in his own, slightly gruff, style.” " - Tom Hyslop , Blues Revue

— Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue Magazine

"Lee Pons is, to put it mildly, an up-jumped-the-devil rockin’, rollickin’ New Orleans blues piano player. His latest CD, Big Boogie Voodoo is a CD of piano-filled bliss. The very first track, The Voodoo Boogie pulls the listener in & set the tone . It makes skillful use of dynamic &complex rhythms & a full dose of energy. Lee’s vocals on the CD have a uniquely Cajun feel; his singing lies somewhere between whiskey-soaked & southern drawl & perfectly compliments the feel of the CD. He really uses every track to show off his wide range in style & feeling through the piano. One can hear southern gospel on one track & New Orleans Barrelhouse on the next, all while maintaining a consistent feel on the CD. All in all, it’s a wonderful CD & a must-have for any blues piano lover. One interesting thing to note is that the CD is strictly solo. There’s no percussion, no backing instruments; just the piano, but with the way he plays, you’ll never know they aren’t there!"

— Matt Marshall, Americn Blues Scene

“New Orleans influenced blues & boogie pianist Lee Pons can play piano, technically; Big Boogie Voodoo shows that he also can play it with all the soul needed to really play the blues. Moreover, Pons provides vocals with multifaceted emotional delivery that only add to soulful piano mastery, making this CD sweet & thoroughly satisfying . From inflected gospel soul to tributes to the piano greats of the Crescent City. Pons is an accomplished artist who can both play and compose in the styles of the classic boogie pianists, AND, do it in numbers that they themselves would be proud to perform & record. Lee Pons not only plays a number of different styles here, he plays them all well, & has his own particular flairs too. Pons is a versatile & accomplished player indeed, with a bluesy gravelly baritone voice that complements his piano with equally versatile & accomplishment. Big Boogie Voodoo rocks besides, making this a CD for listening & for dancing. Just what the masters intended.”

— George "Blues Fin Tuna" Fish, Blues Blast Magazine
