Editorial Reviews ...Their conception of the past--in this case, rare groove circa 1973--is truly immaculate... Melody Maker (03/09/1996)
Brash, muscular and eager to please, Raw Stylus is a slick new player on the retro-pop-soul scene....The musicianship...is impeccable, nailing every horn flourish, every syncopation with steam-drill precision....good enough to make even the staunchest soul purist cut a rug or two. JazzTimes (03/01/1996)
