.. .. Just a Few Of The Local Magazine Reveiws….
Rhythm City Music Magazine.. By: BR Bontemps "I spent a very enjoyable Friday night last month listening to Jay B. Elston do Southern Rock at Phil Brady's in Baton Rouge La., doing Stevie Ray Vaughn, ZZ Top, Alman Brothers and many others. Elston's Band does their brand of deep south blues infected rock very well, mesmerizing the crowd in the process. The band literally sprinkled the show with originals, well seasoned with the same ingredients found in the southern rock they apparantly love so much. So do I." ….
Tambalaya Magazine.. By: Jennifer Mangiapane "Their music is raw, funky and diverse. It's impossible to nail down one genre of music being emphasized, it's all there. This is one of those bands that can invoke the same enthusiasm both on the stage and on the cd player. You can feel their energy through their music both live and recorded." ….
Blues Revue.. "Wall-to-wall blues 'n' boogie make The Jay B. Elston Band's disc sizzle. Elston is truely a gifted guitarist, especially on slide." ….
Offbeat Magazine.. By: Robert Fontenot "They tell you not to use words like 'bad ass' in serious record reviewer training school, but it'd be a great disservice to call this album anything but. Jay a blues prodigy for sure takes his well educated slide to all sorts of smokey, damp and outright strange places and yet has time to growl a bit, detour to the pedal steel or the dobro, and make his harp scream your name as well. This may also be the first record in ages that actually feels swampy, unlike other New Orleans bands that merely sketch out a few bayou cliches and leave it at that. There's more real fire here than most bands trying half as hard to empress you with their dangerousness. Think of the Jay B. Elston Band as musical Swamp Guides, damn entertaining ones at that." ….
Tambalaya Magazine.. By: Ricky Windhorst "Make sure you check out my friend Big Jay Elston and his band from Slidell, for my money, Jay is one of the top slide players in the land. Unfortunately, in the blues world, you have to be around for awhile before you get noticed, but mark my words, Jay's time is coming, and you can say I saw him before he made it big, just like everyone I ever met from Austin talks about Stevie Ray Vaughn at Antone's, cause when Jay plays the blues on that slide guitar it's got a sweet and spicy swamp sound to it, like the smell of the steam that rises off of hot crawfish right out of the pot. It just draws you right in, because you know something good is coming!!" .
