""Fireworks of talent and emotion make this Double Strike a home run thirteen times over." (Tom Clarke/Tahoe OnStage)

"Guitarist Andy T (Talamantez) and vocalist Nick Nixon had one of the great partnerships in blues. Although it only lasted 6 years, the union yielded three great albums: 2013’s Drink Drank Drunk and 2014’s Livin’ It Up on Delta Groove, and 2015’s Numbers Man for Blind Pig, all produced by Anson Funderburgh…Alabama Mike has some big shoes to fill. It’s a good match-up, but there’s still a big shadow hanging over him. With the soulful gospel chops he displays here, he’ll soon have the spotlight tipped his way, but with Nixon’s spirit a constant companion." (Grant Britt/No Depression)
