Free Peoples kicks a certain kind of high energy retro butt. Great grooves, fine songs, damn fine lead playing by Johnny Downer. Huge energy, great style. - KPFA Radio
Yes you can dance to them, but you want to stop and listen because of the complexity of the rhythms and the quality musicianship. - Forestville Gazette
