This album goes to show that Americans have no monopoly on the blues. 
You can create a genre but you can't own it. No spit, no shine, no polish – this is 100 percent real blues.”

(Blues matters!, England)

”Your grasp of the hill country style seems quite deep … you should be proud of this album”

(Bruce Iglauer, Alligator Records, on the debut album
“This Is Your Chance, France Baby!”)

“This Is Your Chance, France Baby!” is an intense, raw and real piece of work, with songs from the greatest authors from the The Mississippi Hill Country;”

(Bluesnews, Norwegian Blues Union Bjørn Wiksaas).

...'I know You're Gone' - a track with so much dept that you hit repeat again and again because it takes you into a seductive and dark world. A very strong song..."

(Rootsville, Belgien)

“Not one dead spot on the entire album, one great track replaces the other..."

(Bluesnews, Norway, on the album "Black Cherry")

“Fried Okra band is a really good band..”

”We want Fried OKra Band back. Mississippi blues with genuine punch and great attitude” 

(Eivind Henriksen, Tønsberg Roots Club)

Overall, I like the energy and attitude of the band. There’s a good rawness, and nice development of moods and textures.

(Bruce Iglauer, Alligator Records on "Black Cherry")

Fyens Stiftstidende

”Fried Okra Band builds on the solid blues tradition, and the albums material is both original and very personal"
