The Sheriffs of Nottingham / Press

"The Sheriffs of Nottingham’s newly released album, Have Mercy, is a fantastic mix of rock, blues, and soul. It’s blues rock you can bust a move to. The band out of Memphis should be garnering much attention in the coming years, as they are one of the best kept secrets in blues rock."

"This is album is a must hear. It is certainly refreshing to hear an album full of songs that grab the listener. The Sheriffs of Nottingham have a very promising future ahead. The Review: 9/10"

"Have Mercy is the second album from the Memphis band, The Sheriffs of Nottingham. To say that this album is amazing would be an understatement."

"The blues rock Memphis group proved that not only can they play to a standing room only crowd at the [Young Avenue] Deli but can keep that same crowd engaged the entire time of their hour and half set. Front man, Justin Jamerson has a way of combining his powerful lead vocals with his energetic dance moves to make you want to move yo’ feet."

"With their catchy blues-rock riffs and soulful vocals, it’s hard to mistake the sound of The Sheriffs of Nottingham. Based out of Memphis TN, this four-piece blues-rock band is carrying an intermingled sound of The Black Keys, Cedric Burnside, and The White Stripes. With the debut of their latest EP, Hard Places you might be seeing and hopefully hearing a lot more from these guys."

"The record is titled 'Hard Places: The EP' and it's a solid piece of rock 'n' roll."

"Led by singer and rhythm guitarist Justin Jamerson, the Sheriffs of Nottingham are a blues-rock band with the emphasis more on the latter than the former. Blues is a foundational element for groove-oriented hard rock. Lead guitarist Kevin Lipe is an able soloist, but, on record at least, the band doesn’t lean on guitar heroics the way lots of other blues-rock bands do, sticking to tight, rhythmic songwriting."

"The Sheriffs of Nottingham is a rock and blues band whose sound reflects the grittiness of Memphis. "

"The Sheriffs of Nottingham blend garage rock tradition with blues, insightful lyrics."
