about

“OK, after thinking long and hard, I guess I can summarise it as: ‘imagine Mississippi John Hurt and Duane Eddy jamming with an acoustic psychobilly band on a programme of songs embracing all their influences and recording the results in the Sun Studios on Union Avenue as a dazed Sam Cooke walks in to add the vocals after having spent the previous evening out on the town with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’. Yep, I’m kinda happy with that. If you ever wanted a definition of Americana, stop here.”
-Norman Darwen, Vienna Blues Art Studios

"Strange Adventure dips unashamedly into the deep traditions of American roots music.......there's 'Down That Road' that blows your canoe out of the water as if a nuclear sub had cruised by and popped a well-aimed torpedo off. Just to have 'Down That Road' is reason enough to buy this CD. That one alone equals five stars."
-Loudon Temple, Maverick

A return to roots music—the other side of the big guy best known for modern R&B madness with his band the Savages. With former Radio King twang-picker Michael Dinallo and Euro-blues guitar-slinger Vidar Busk, Whitfield (born ‘Barry White’) has this new unit that presents a mix of raw old-time and honky-tonk country, traditional blues (played hard), and new tunes that match them.
-Barry Mazor, The Village Voice
