5.0 out of 5 stars spooky blues (and that's a good thing), September 2, 2008

If you've had the pleasure of hearing the Scissormen live, you'll know how two musicians can conjure up the haunted sounds of electric hill country blues. Personal faves are "Tupelo" and "Whiskey and Mary Jane," which builds to a rave-up of mammoth proportions. Great fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars We're Lucky To Have the Scissormen, October 26, 2008

This is the heaviest, rawest blues I've heard in years! Ted D's learned from legends like R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough and Jessie Mae Hemphill, who were all friends and mentors. Ted's carrying their torch, but he's also playing slide guitar his own way, fusing the essence of Hill Country delivered with the spirit of punk rock. I've never seen or heard another guitarist like him. We're lucky to have the Scissormen!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Tupelo" and "Whiskey and MaryJane" especially potent!, October 24, 2008

I've had the joy of seeing The Scissormen in action, Ted playing slide with, well, just about anything in the room, and getting the audience into the blues groove--so it was great to hear that raunchy, emotional real deal feel come alive on the new record, too. LUCK IN A HURRY gets me up and moving, and I just love "Tupelo" and "Whiskey and MaryJane"--doesn't get any more deep blues than that!
