REVIEWS

"Highlights of this very good album include two slow blues, 'Wrong Number' and Otis Rush's 'Right Place, Wrong Time', as well as 'Living Under the Gun' and 'Shakin' Blues', both of which deliver social commentary much in the manner of fellow New Yorker, Michael Hill"
JDK, Living Blues Magazine (USA)

"... Chris Carter rolls out a Big Apple-flavored funky blues on 'Night Shift'... Carter falls somewhere betweeen BB King and Jimi Hendrix -- a distorted tone decorates his songs... Best cuts: a nice slow blues take on Otis Rush's 'Right Place, Wrong Time', and the moody calypso of Carter's own 'Blues Zone'. High quality production is a plus."
Ed Ivey, Blues Revue Magazine (USA)

His playing is precise, concise and often exciting, with 'singing' tones...intense feeling without excessive stylistic or electronic gimmickry."
Andre Hobus, Soul Bag Magazine (FRANCE)

"...it is clear that Carter is a fine guitarist, ripping through Otis Rush's 'Right Place, Wrong Time", or playing some searing leads on...'Gimme Somethin' to Eat'."
Jon Morgan, Cadence Magazine (USA)

"New Yorker Chris Carter is among the best guitarists currently working the East Coast blues circuit. Carter and his excellent band... are beginning to attract serious attention with their new CD, 'Night Shift'. A bold, blues-drenched effort that's loaded with great new tunes, the CD has a few well-chosen covers and some of the best interplay between vocals and guitar heard in ages. Carter is an aggressive, imaginative guitarist..nothing short of brilliant. Chris Carter's 'Night Shift' is a blues masterpiece that receives my absolutely highest recommendation."
Bob Cianci, The River Reporter Newspaper (upstate NY, USA)

"This is a fine CD..."
