"[W]ild, menacing and on the edge, kind of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins singing half-remembered Appalachian murder ballads...this is a very individual take on the blues and the theme of a down-at-heel touring carnival certainly suits the music. Weird, maybe, but certainly interesting too."
--Norman Darwen, Blues in the South

"A creation so unbridled that it sometimes comes to seem hallucinated...Ralph Beeby & The Elephant Collective definitively impose their trademark on a scene that, more than ever, has the need to evolve a little more. A must try!"
--Fred Delfonge, Zicazic/Le Zicazine (translated)

"Blues that breaks with sacred tradition, without being outlandish in a comic-book way."
--Eloy Pérez, Ruta66 (translated)
