Man, can Bridges sing...Blues soul fans take note: This hugely talented singer/songwriter/guitarist deserves to be a star.' - Jeff Calvin Blues Revue
' 'Coming Home' is yet another triumph for Bridges who seems incapable of making an uninspired record. It has always been a mystery why Bridges, an American guitarist and frequent visitor to the UK, isn't a bigger star. Not only does he possess one of the great contemporary blues voices, he's also a fine guitar player and a great songwriter; the autobiographical opening track, 'I'm Going Back', being evidence of that...Bridges could be as big as Joe Louis Walker, or even Robert Cray.' - John Clarke, The Times
ridges' musicianship and songwriting are of a piece: inventive, often joyful, sometimes meditative - but always refreshingly adult. He's rapidly evolving into one of the most exciting younger blues artists on the contemporary scene.' - David Whiteis, Living Blues
