Some Reviews of the CD
“If you like acoustic country blues, you will like South-Bound Freight Train by the Biscuit Rollers. This group’s initial effort reflects the successful results of music selection, skilled instrumental work, and an excellent balancing of vocals and instrumentation, which includes guitar, banjo, harp and an occasional tambourine.
The 15 tracks run the gamut from slow to upbeat tunes, including an interesting interpretation of Eddie “Son” House’s Preachin’ the Blues. There are tracks that are new to me, like Having a Real Bad, that reflect lyrics dyed in the deep delta. There are also familiar tracks that are well done: 32-20, Kokomo, and I Can’t Be Satisfied. A unique touch the release offers is the inclusion of several brief tracks (30-40 seconds) allowing for solo performances.
The Biscuit Rollers have put together a solid release built around strong vocals backed by skilled musicians. This trip to the country is one worth taking, whether you’re walking, driving, or taking a freight train.”
The Professah! NPR Blues Valley
“The Biscuit Rollers ‘Southbound Freight Train’ is a prime example of modern musicians approaching blues with reverence and respect, and producing an album of blues with both a traditional feel and production style, but with a modern touch and sensibility. ‘Southbound Freight Train’ is an album of songs to listen to as a whole, as each song takes you on a sonic journey. ‘Delta’ meets ‘Piedmont’ blues finger-picking style is a delight.”
