““Lakota John is already a skilled guitarist,
perfectly mastering Piedmont blues
fingerpicking and slide guitar. But what
is even more impressive is his voice,
so raspy and powerful it seems
to be an old bluesman's!””
– SoulBag Magazine France
"his vocals have a gritty edge that belies his youth and, together with his slide playing, enable him to bring off a cover of Robert Johnson's Crossroads Blues... this is a strong debut that marks Lakota John as a talent worth watching." CD Review--
