UncutNov 1, 2013Epic in scale, World Boogie Is Coming is an extraordinary amalgam of envelope-pushing studio manipulation and DNA-fuelled deep gut grooves. [Dec 2013, p.71]

Sep 11, 2013NMA's version of Junior Kimbrough's "Meet Me in the City" here almost sounds like power pop, but filtered through a rustic moonshine filter.

MojoDec 18, 2013Both slow-burning, early Zeppelin-style blues, its understandable they would front-load the album with its trump card, but both seem slightly at odds with the Dickinsons' mission statement. [Jan 2014, p.101]

Oct 18, 2013The album succeeds because it has a freshness, raw energy and attack reminiscent of the way Mama Rosin re-work Cajun music.

Sep 11, 2013Their latest, crammed with 17 tracks, will likely be a case of too much of a good thing for all but the hardcore fans.
