THE TEN FOOT POLECATS are a three piece (no bass!) Boston based Blues & Boogie band who's sound reflects the North Mississippi Boogie & Blues of RL Burnside, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, and others....as well as the raw sounds of Howlin' Wolf, Hound Dog Taylor, Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker.  The combination of these stylings mixed with their own feeling, vibe and groove makes The Ten Foot Polecats a very unique and original blues and boogie band.....as they are creating their own sound and blurring the barriers between musical genres that have been created by some and adhered to by many.

Every good band starts with a good foundation. That's exactly where The Ten Foot Polecats start. Dave lays down a rock solid groove on the skins. He's the kind of percussionist that every band wishes they had....Tasteful and smoking. Jim is absolutely scorching on the 5 string semi-hollow body, laying down the bass groove while he rips out a tasty solo line. Then Jay opens his mouth, and I can immediately feel the mud between my toes. His harp work is steeped in dark waters and cyprus stumps. I swear, if you close your eyes at a Polecat show, you can see the faces of Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Boy, and Honey Boy...and they're all smilin' just like you are.    -          Marv from TaosNM

Finally got around to listening to your cd today - I had to go on hold as a Muse reviewer while I did some of my own music stuff. But I'm going to post a review of your cd soon because it's one of the coolest dics I've heard in a while. I was just playing along on my guitar - good stuff!   - Chip Withrow of Muse's Muse

Hey Jay, Jim, & Dave:   that is some of the coolest and oddly enough most UN-pretentious "blues" related stuff i've heard in a while. And I hear a lot a stuff   -    Michael Pickett from Toronto CANADA

Y'all got that genuine Juke Joint deep-in-the-heart-of-the-Delta sound. Felt like I was back at Junior Kimbrough's! Pass the bootle. Keep it up!   -   Zig and Blue Bizness

I really like what you guys are doing, especially the heavy, dirty, fast songs. There's a lot of great blues bands around, but the Pole Cats stand out with a unique sound and vibe. I don't hear anyone around here playing guitar like Jim does. Makes me want to drink whiskey. -    Thomas Caywood  from Milford MA

 The Polecats really nail the Hill Country sound. The thing I most admire is that, quite simply, you do not overplay. I don't hear a white or young guitar hero trying to break out. What I get in your music is a respect for the very moving Hill Country that really grabs people.   -          Joe Kessler from Washington DC
