""Groovy, Infectious Rock""

"Groovy, infectious rock that's impeccably vintage, yet still cuts the edge of today's scene."
- WBUZ 102.9 FM - NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE


""Genius, Creative, Original, Talented, Diverse, Multi-Cultured, Spiritual""

"The Band overall are naturally talented as performers and musicians. They have a diverse mix of sound that takes you across the platform. In their own right they are creative genius. They have the ability to write original song-lyrics and sing songs from their most inner-self emotions. The music is rooted deeply in Rock, Blues, Jazz, Folk, and Country mixed all in at times. There is a deep Spiritual/Conscious awareness taking place in their music that shows their soul, spirit beyond other realms. They have opened up a new door with a new sound that reaches a large gap of audience where it is much needed in the Music Industry today. They are going to go places as their music speaks for itself. They are refreshing. "

- Peggy Leyva-Conley - Delta Snake Blues Magazine - BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA


""Amazing Tunes""

"Not many blues bands contain the wide-ranging versatility of Mellow Down Easy. I recently received five songs from their upcoming release, Brothers of the Left Hand Path, and after hearing these tracks I await the full record with anxious anticipation.

From the first notes on "Human Nature," I was hooked on the quality of production and songwriting in these songs. The second track, "Cocaine Women Blues," is a three-minute un-love story accompanied by some mighty fine guitar licks. Rounding out the disc,
"She's the Only Girl," "Morning Turns Electra" and "Can't Bring Me Down" do a good job of making the point that this band can do the blues up, down and sideways if they must.

-Eric Turner - Chattanooga Pulse Magazine - CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE


""...Play The Paint Off The Walls""

"Rock in the vain of the late 60's blues-psychedelia scene is rare these days. More so, I'd imagine, in Tennessee. And yet, here's Mellow Down Easy, singing about cocaine women and the Devil's slide, and, frankly, kicking ass. These cats really enjoy their sound, and they can play the paint off the walls. These guys actually play some pretty hot music, and while it was completely unexpected, it's a neo-blues groove is a revitalizing change from all those Promo bands getting signed these days." - Origivation Magazine - HAVERTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA


""MDE Storms the U.K.""

"Very well written songs with infectious melodies and clever lyrics and an angle that is unique to this baron industry." - Rebecca Williams, A&R Chromium Records, LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND


""Swanky Soul Garage Rock""

"The swanky soul garage rock of Nashville's Mellow Down Easy comes to Toledo's popular speakeasy. Somewhere between the White Stripes and soul rockers like Lenny Kravitz, Mellow Down Easy is a hip-shaking trio who lay the nostalgia on heavy, but never unnecessarily. The group's sound is inexplicably modern, but taken out of the context of MySpace, seems as appropriate and natural sounding from an 8-Track circa '76 as it does from a cassette tape in 1992." - The City Paper - TOLEDO, OH


""A Tapestry of Sound""

"This extremely talented trio transported an entire audience to another place. Shade's of 60's and 70's rock wound through a tapestry of sound that hailed back to bands like Cream, The Yardbirds, and many lesser-known underground acts. Coming off somewhere between The Black Crowes & Led Zepplin, I was intrigued at the varying elements used in their music. Blues, 60's & 70's era rock riffs...even some Country was evident in their performance. These guys were extremely eclectic, but also very satisfying to hear & watch."

""Intense, Exciting and Highly Original""

"Mellow Down Easy takes influence from great rock and roll bands of yesterday and mixes it with a unique blend of style and musicianship that stands out and has been missing in today's music world for quite some time. Intense, exciting and highly original. This three piece from Nashville, Tennessee is making waves not only in their own homeland but clear across the Atlantic in parts all over Europe too. This could very well be one of THE bands to watch in 2007." - N.M.E. - LONDON, ENGLAND


"I Haven't Been This Enthralled Since CREAM'S 'Disraeli Gears'"

"That is not the norm! Mellow Down Easy has ingested the roots in subatomic detail. A Simple Model of Popular Music revisited (gravity included). I Have never been so enthralled, since CREAM'S "Disraeli Gears". - Billy Sheppard - BILLYSBUNKER.COM [CINNCINATTI, OH]


"...The Most Original Style I've Heard In The Last Decade."

...The most original style I've heard in the last decade. An electric surge of psychedelic-countrified rock expressions pulsating through the questions of life, love and self-actualization. The greatest accomplishment of MDE is their ability to use their musical influences combined with a completely unique lyrical perspective, and meld them into a truly soulful experience unto themselves. - Wade Philips - OUTLAW MAGAZINE (AUSTIN, TX)
