“’til Then is a highly recommended listen and an early candidate for Best New Artist Debut at next year’s Blues Music Awards.”
Josh Hathaway, Blinded By Sound
“Dynamite ! A must have ! Amazing to say the least … this album will go down as a classic, everything is ticking, not a note out of place. Ronnie doesn’t just deliver some of the most amazing harmonica playing I’ve ever heard, but also carries every song spot on with great vocals.”. Read full review here.
