“ The much anticipated third album from this amazingly different band will not disappoint. BabaJack have managed to capture the vitality and originality of their live show onto this studio album. BabaJack are a trio with the component parts are greater than the sum. The rearrangements on the album, (these are not covers!)are great songs given the BabaJack treatment especially 'Gallows Pole'. The self-penned tracks are clever, combining strong lyrics and the glorious vocals of Becky Tate, and the deep warm tones of the double bass of Marc Miletitch. Another layer of sound is introduced by seductive blues guitar playing by Trevor Steger. The other dimension that cannot be ignored is Becky's percussive talents on the Cajon (Spanish for box) and Djembe. For the purist this may not be Blues, yet the very essence of the blues is found in every track, from instrumentation, lyrics and the use of African beats! This is a five star recording and could well be the CD of 2012! L Aiken, BluesMatters”

“STRAINS of the blues drift down the Malvern Hills. Wailing harmonica, raw winebox guitar and sultry vocals are the sounds that, when made together, equal BabaJack! Becky Tate, Trevor Steger and Aron Attwood combine their talents and, with drum, bass and the occasional guest to fill their sound out, they demonstrate their unique flavour of uncomplicated 'Severn Delta' blues. Exercising Demon, their second CD, is a breathtaking roller-coaster of rhythmic variation, from the frantically struck guitar and chanted lyrics of Big Man Blues to the more down beat, sultry Big Summer Rising. It's a full-bodied, heady brew of original songs that's bound to get your foot tapping.”

“Sometimes when you're on life's highway you discover a small secluded cove. It's got a beautiful beach, the sun is shining, the water is clear and blue it's a beautiful experience. BabaJack are that beautiful cove and gradually the whispered secret is rolling into a shout. More and more people are finding out about this great blues duo. Becky Tate(mainly vocals) and Trevor Steger(mainly guitars and harmonicas), aka BabaJack have added a real twang into that sound. "Exercising Demons" harks back to blues' early days [...]It punches like a bare-knuckle champion as it steps up to the mark for track after track. Each one a classic. [...] This is an album that you can easily listen to time and time again. Becky has a voice that was tailor made for the blues. It's smoky at the edges and sultry in the middle, it delivers a spiritual quality. It can move from a honky-tonk into a gospel choir. There are certain bands you want to claim the credit for discovering, this is one of them. [...] ”

“An evening of nearly all original compositions,in a Bluesy /Rootsy /"Hot Folk " theme . Doffing their hats on three occasions to the Godfathers of Blues along the way. All the songs were delivered with incredible passion ,both vocally and musically,as they were written about life's events,lived out by the duo(from the heart and soul,the way the Blues is) [...] Trev on his own made Wine box guitar,with a bit of wardrobe incorporated,mmm Beckys not so sure about that bit !!This was a sensational version,leaving me with goose bumps ,and Trev with sore fingers i don't doubt. [...] BROWNSVILLE,ended the set and the evening,but we demanded an encore,which was duly delivered in the form of a request from the audience ,STANDING ON THE CORNER,the floor was full ,and the end of the evening was upon us! Thank you Cafe Rene for supporting live Blues /Music ,bring BabaJack back soon.”

“Babajack is an outstanding Blues, folk [and more] fusion band. It will have come as no surprise to anyone in the audience to see from their gig list that just five days later they would be gracing the main stage at Warwick Festival. When Babajack are on stage, everyone sits up and takes notice, they have great presence and energy and this packed venue was way too small to contain the fire and passion emanating from them. [...] These guys are tight, dynamic and real crowd pleasers who have a unique sound and perform mostly their own, terrific compositions. I suspect they will be appearing on the main stage of many more festivals in the future.”

"The babajacksecond album from Babajack, called ‘Exercising Demons’ is the musical equivalent of Catcher in The Rye. Each time you go there you find more to explore, then just when you think you have it sorted it takes an unusual turn. It’s easy to describe this as bluesy folk or even acoustic blues - more accurately it’s riveting music, simple as that." Extract from Folkwords Review, by Tim Carroll
