E-Mail/Mail Check OR To Use PayPal go to Main Page REVIEWS: Blues For Theresa, a ten-song compilation featuring Wells on six songs... has six covers and four Ditzell originals; originals, which sprang from Ditzell’s amazing creative force and his innate understanding of the Blues...astounding slide work, tremendous precision, and finely honed ability. Ditzell’s masterful picking is melodic and soulful on both albums, filling the space and leaving little chance for boredom to set in. On 9 String Blues, the synergy between his voice and guitar carries each phrase effortlessly across the backroads, barrooms, and broken heartstrings he sings about. Blues For Theresa, though, is his baby, and it’s a fine tribute to his relationship with Junior Wells and the Blues. BluesWax's Blues Bytes, November 17, 2005 ...this disc shows a very traditional blues style to their music. While in live appearances they sometimes wander more into the more hard rocking territory popularized by people like Stevie Ray Vaughn, this disc stays closer to its roots. That's not to say that fans of the more hard rock guitar style will feel disappointed. There is certainly enough of Ditzell's fiery soloing to keep them happy. This one should be a treat for fans of Wells, and also for anyone who enjoys the blues as it should be played - with a nod to tradition and a passion for today. If you haven't heard Ditzell, by all means, pick this one up. His heartfelt love of the musical style and his skill at both vocals and tasty guitar work would make it a winner with any band. When you add in the guest appearance of Wells on harmonica and vocals and the classy playing of Kaye and Binder, though - this really stands tall above most of the competition. For anyone familiar with Ditzell I'm most likely preaching to the choir, as they probably already have the disc. This guy is a real blues man, and if you've seen him, you're most likely already hooked. Reviewed by Gary Hill www.beetcafe.com

9 String Blues
E-Mail/Mail Check $15 OR To Use PayPal REVIEWS: On 9 String Blues, the synergy between his voice and guitar carries each phrase effortlessly across the backroads, barrooms, and broken heartstrings he sings about. BluesWax's Blues Bytes, November 17, 2005 ...Steve is great on the acoustic guitar here, both technically and artistically. He picks and slides his way expertly on guitar and I think that any blues fan will appreciate the feeling and guitar work that Steve has put into all the songs on this CD.
