"Review from our performance at P.K. CREEK"

"Unfamiliar with the band and their music, I had no idea what lay ahead. The boys blew me away! Turns out, THE JUKES are another immensely talented compilation of Toronto area musicians forming a one of a kind blend of rockin’ blues band."

"Sets consisting of THE JUKES kick-ass originals flowed fluently with their fiery, soulful deliverance of traditional blues and classic rock covers. THE JUKES original rockin’ blues reminded me of the unique musical blend of none other that Jack de Keyzer. Not bad for a relatively youthful, new band. What really catches one’s eye is the amazing chemistry these four musicians possess creating an electrifying energy that reaches the depths of one's heart and soul."
- Diane Goldsmith - P.A. Blue Star Records


"Sunday Night Soul Broadcast"

...a great little band and pretty much straight ahead blues and their new CD is fantasic! - Johnny Max, 1430 AM Toronto - host of Sunday Night Soul


"CD Review - 94.9 FM The Rock"

They have that fresh Bluzzy groove that wants you craving more! - Rockin' Rod - 94.9 FM The Rock - GTA/Toronto


"CD Review - Terry Iredale HOTFM 106.7FM"

This is some” Top Kick Ass" Blues you got here…shuffles, a bit of jump, some great 12 bar stuff and I love the B3 which has been inserted in some fine spots...I’ve been playing the album for the past couple of months on my program…These guys have produced a great CD. Fits right in the mix of my Rock & Blues Show."

"CD Review - www.701.com"

It is a treat to listen to players that have spent years honing their skills in and around the Toronto Blues scene. They do remind me of The Stray Cats mixed with classic Blues Brothers energy—and I am talking about the first movie, folks, not those scary sequels! This CD is really a teaser for what I imagine is really hot show to experience live. They play constantly so check them out at a local watering hole near you. And, oh yeah, buy the CD too.

"CD Review - Alligator Records"

...good boogaloo groove. One of your better vocals with some nice vibrato. Good intensity. One of my favorites. Good guitar solo too...most enjoyable track so far, just because everyone feels so comfortable. Nice use of alternate chord voicings on the bridge. - Bruce Iglauer, Alligator Records


"CD Review - La Hora del Blues"

High level band with a huge experience along Canadian blues circles. They fluently perform an excellent effective mixture of blues, rhythm and blues, funk, swing, rockabilly and rock...great quality with a cool lush sound. They can feel proud of being a solid band with a powerful guitar sound and an delightful daring vibrato. Josh Gordon guitar solos have a personal stamp with very close Texan references which give them a straight charisma, something not very usual among many actual guitar players. Toronto musical scene can be proud of that excellent band. - La Hora del Blues
