"This afternoon I played a gig at Quixote's in downtown Denver. The guys from Mama's Cookin' were picking up their equipment from the previous nights show. I met Zebuel, who is the band's guitarist and he laid this CD on me and I haven't stopped listening since.



Words come hard for something as brilliant and revelatory as what Mama's Cookin' has created. As Thelonius Monk supposedly said "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." So it is.



There's some obvious Zeppelin influence, but this is so much more than that. There's some hip hop influence, some Delta Blues influence, but that just means these guys have done their homework in the same way that the English cats in the 1960's did theirs.



Buy this CD. It is hip, it right now, it has monster grooves and clever lyrics that are socially conscious, but mostly it just feels good. Real good.

HOLY COW!!!! These guys smoke!!!! When does the next CD come

"Like the other review here I agree this band has all the ingredients of a Led Zep successor. But mix in some old Aerosmith, B.B. King, Niacin, Matchbox 20, with some of the best lyrics ever laid on a CD and you sort of get the idea of this unknown gem. The grooves and lyrics are tight and smooth on this CD. This CD will rock you from start to finish and you will scratch your head and wonder how they are not more well known. Blues rock is alive and well with this quartet.



These four guys hail from Colorado and play Telluride from time to time. Catch them if you can because as far as this music reviewer is concerned they are going to tear the roof off on their fourth CD. If this CD is a hint of their talent we are indeed in for some hot Mama's Cookin' for some time to come. Do yourself a favor. Get a copy and prepare to be BLOWN away!!!



Good rockin' at Midnight............."
