"Nice set in the jimmy Reed/Lightnin Hopkins bag, acoustic and electric, soulfully done. Omar Dykes is the only person Ive heard who can sing like Howlin Wolf (really). Boys got some deep roots. Plays good guitar too, Jonny"
Talent, Skill & Sheer Genious!!!

"Omar's guitar skills are fantastic and recall 1920's delta blues, mixed with a large dose of urban and jump blues. Often times recalling Robert Johnson, and Leadbelly. His vocals are gritty and hit you like a bolt of lightning! His powerful vocals and exellent blues guitar technique make for a compelling and wonderful listen! A true great solo effort by Omar with occasional backup on Harmonica. Although One should also acquire at least one Omar cd with hsi full swingin' jump blues band "Omar & The Howlers", thsi is a great cd!!!!"
