"Not often can one see a band which is tight acoustically and lyrically, but Legally Blynd is just that.
The artists are on the outside of the industry...producing and maintaining a level of integrity that might not get them airplay on the commercial stations but for the size of the audience on a Friday night...they certainly have a dedicated audience. On lead guitar and vocals, Jubu played all musical styles well--funk, rock and blues."

"I'm blown away by it! It's the best new R&B music I've heard in months, though it's much different from what I expected. It reminds me of a cross between two of my all-time favorites, Robert Cray and Bobby Womack, yet it's highly original." - Lee Hildebrand: Eastbay Express
