"I've been a fan of Mike Stern for many years. Who Let The Cats Out is easily one of his best releases to date. The production quality is excellent. The drum tones alone should be studied by anyone interested in this genre. The guest musicians are outstanding and play an integral part of the recording as a whole. This is not a one man show, as Stern lets his guests cut loose and share the spotlight. How many Jazz Cds have slide guitar or harmonica? This one does!"
Stern is one hip cat!

"Mike Stern has solidified himself in the top echelon of jazz/blues/fusion guitarists. Who Let the Cats Out is a varied disc that shows off what he can do when supported by a top notch band, each with something to add. Mike knows how to vary the mix enough so that he doesn't become predictable.. there is always an edge of newness to his playing and this album doesn't disappoint. While I would not hold out "Who Let the Cats Out" as the quintessential Stern recording, it surely belongs in your collection of you appreciate his styling, chops, and musicality."
AWESOME STUFF

"Mike Stern has got to be one of the Tastiest Cats out there in the music scene today. He defenitly has his own sound going, which is so great to hear these days. This is a great cd. Every song kills....I own all Mike's stuff, and seems to me, each one he puts out just keeps on getting better and better...."
