"Bluesman R.J. Howson generated a lot of heat with his Chicago-roots blues-playing. Howson is definitely worth checking out if you haven’t heard him yet. He’s not hard on the eyes either."

— By M.C. Coolidge, Herald-Tribune, Sarasota Ticket

“The guitarist, singer and songwriter paid his dues as a sideman in the Windy City. One night while backing Doug “The Arkansas Razorback” McDonald at Buddy Guy’s Legends club, Howson stepped to the front of the stage to fire off some hot licks. “I’ve got my eyes shut while winding down from a solo, and I feel a tap on my shoulder and think it’s the bass player,” Howson recalled. “It’s Buddy Guy. I tried to hand him my guitar and he said, ‘No, no, keep playing.” Guy ended up sitting in to sing some favorites by his old friend Muddy Waters. “The pinnacle of everything I did in Chicago was being on stage with Buddy Guy,” Howson said. “That was something I dreamed of for years.” Read more: http://www.bradenton.com/2011/08/04/3396105/blues-revue-throws-open-house.html#ixzz1UHtjG22q”
