WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING
“Ain’t No Gold Without Chains is a road worn epic. Angry, funny, mournful, and ultimately hopeful. It’s a song that doesn’t just describe America, it interrogates it. And it does so with the honesty of someone who’s been paying attention for a very long time.” - Billy Rose
— Midwest Revue
“What Todd does successfully consistently is present his blues in a manner unfamiliar to today’s ears. Each tune’s a calling card. Some pieces are close to the roots of blues – “Lost Your Shoe Blues,” is well-chiseled & “Jimmy Carter” sounds like a new Dr. John vocally. The album is gripping, like a mad dog on the leg of your pants.” - John Apice
“I love the sonic footprint of Desert Fox Blues. There are a number of ways to go lo fi these days, but I don't think lo-fi is a good description for what transpires here. It's more like renting a house, finding a record player in the garage with a disc on it encased in spider webs and dust, running an extension cord from the house, then recording the first play in ?? on one's phone. Studio lo fi can sound like software. The only ware on Desert Fox blues is wear.” - Dave Gallaher -
