—C. Michael Bailey, All About Jazz (June 7, 2015)
“Novelli’s rhythmically rich tunes have killer licks galore.”
—Rick Allen, Vintage Guitar“Peter Novelli’s third album kicks off with a bang with guest Sonny Landreth’s signature slide guitar on Louisiana Sunrise.
“...as a guitarist, Novelli never overpowers, but carefully crafts his solos with ample individual expression and varying shades and expressions.
“He’s also the rare guitarist who’s in touch with his zydeco side... Novelli’s best groove-bound CD yet.”
