"The cover reads gritty Chicago blues and southern fried soul.I couldn't agree more,this cd has everything.Great vocals,great instruments and killer harmonica.Jamming blues,soul ballads and slow burning blues.Checkout Mr. Campbell's blues,a tribute to the late great Little Milton with some lyics from his own songs.This is my far the best blues album of 2006."

"This is one great cd. A good example of the Chicago blues style. Ensemble playing, instead of alot of soloing. This is a very good blues band, and every song is great. It's produced by Nick Moss and sounds like it should. It's my new favorite."

"A good discovery this group that was nominated for best debut artist by the Blues Music Foundation, 'The Kilborn Alley Blues Band'; is produced by this young phenomenon NICK MOSS that besides collaborates with his guitar in 4 songs and this their first record "Put It In The Alley' really shows you some southern Blues-Soul reminiscences but basically Chicago Blues as a whole, typical shuffles as soon as mid-tempos Blues as soon as slow Blues that identify you with this great movement, the BLUES named also the rhythm of the twelve compasses one of the best but whether the most important, base of almost all imminent musical movements. The Kilborn aren't 'cracks' in any case they are very serious people that are dedicated with body and soul to making the good BLUES feel to us, these boys know how to play, sing, and live the blues, very good rhythmic section mainly with Joe Asselin' s harmónica, Andrew Duncanson' s voice and guitar.

Talking about record themes there is only one song I do not like it the closing record "I like to live the love" for me bored, the remainder is at a high level with Blues for all the tastes with special attention to brilliant themes as "Tales from the Alley", "Soldier Blues", "Behind my back" excellent, "Got dues to pay" with a certain flavor to the Junior Wells' s "Scratch it Back", the fantastic slows as" Thousand miles", "Can I get to hello?", "Mr. Campbell' s Blues" and "The breakaway". Highly recommended I give it 4,5 stars.
