“Clarence"Clete" Castillo is an extremely talented and gifted artist/musician. Clete's diversity and talent set's him apart from most others. His music crosses all boundaries and reflects life in a raw and real way. He takes you from tragedy to exaltation and leaves you emotionally exhausted. He brings you the blues through young eyes and life experience that would normally come from an old soul. Now that my friends is talent! He's refreshing and real. Clete's voice was born for the Blues and he does it with class and respect from those that have paved the way before him. Clarence Castillo is the real deal and its a privilege to endorse and recommend him.”

— Terry Hucks · General Manager at West Texas Broadcasting, West Texas Broadcasting

“Recommended!”

"These guys will remind you of the old days going to Billy Blues on Grayson!" Jeff / TOR

— Jeff Falck/Texas Online Radio, Texas Online Radio

“Guitarist was ripping the guitar lots of good solid clean licks. Bass player walking that bass. Drummer only using the snare and high-hat. I've always believed that a person cannot learn how to play the blues. I believe it has to be in your blood, heart, and soul. These guys definitely had it! ”

— Juan Sifuentes V.P Tejano Roots Hall Of Fame, Tejano Roots Hall Of Fame

“The boys were jamming to some gritty Texas Blues bringing back memories of old blues greats! Had the people mesmerized with the down home Texas blues. Highlights of the show were “Rock Hand”, “Monday Morning Blues” and for a moment I could’ve sworn Albert King was in the building!”

— Jason Zimmerman, Step Aside @ Caliente Harley Davidson
