Top to bottom- a great blues CD

"Every song on this disk is interesting. Rob Stone sounds great on the harmonica and the band behind him kicks butt. If you have a chance to see them play live, don't miss it."
Great Blues Harmonica

"This is a really great blues CD. The band is very together and Stone's harp-work is top notch. Chicago blues at it's best!"
Great Post-War Chicago Blues Revisited

"This is an impressive debut. Rob Stone is a powerful singer and a great blues harpist. His songwriting is also very clever. On this CD Rob tackles a number of different styles ranging from upbeat Little Walter numbers to a guitar-less instrumental to a fantastic, slow-burning mournful tune called "Lost & Lonely" (my personal fave). A very solid disc."
A fantastic, well-balanced album with excellent musicians.

"This is a refreshing album that doesn't get boring. I can usually only listen to the first few songs on a blues album, it becomes so repetitive. "No Worries" keeps on moving and changing, but sticks to a solid Chicago Blues base. This is a great album!"
