"Perhaps it's the country air in Utopia ON pictured on the sleeve but the electric blues guitarist that I'm familiar with has turned in a solid acoustic blues CD…a musical treat from end to end."

John Valenteyn
The Toronto Blues Society

 

"This young singer/ guitarist/ songwriter out of Toronto, Canada, has been causing something of a stir and the music on this CD shows why… Grant Lyle is an artist with a highly individual approach and style."

Norman Darwen
Blues In Britain Magazine
 

"…a great voice…I highly recommend this album."

 Duncan Egleton

"Canadian blues has finally arrived…This great little band led by Grant Lyle rocks… This guy's blues heart is beating."

Taxim Records – Germany



"...one of the hot newcomers on the Canadian blues scene."

National Post



"...one of the very best guitarists that this area has ever produced."

Lou Moore



"Lyle is one to watch in the future. Worth a listen."

Scene Magazine



"A good singer and songwriter who has obviously considered what it takes to distinguish his contribution from those of the legions of blues artists across North America."

Muzik etc Magazine



"...a little bit of Tequila mixed in with some stinging Rockabilly. And before you know it, you're a kid again….an exciting, adventurous, and stimulating second CD."

Gary Tate
T.O. Nite Magazine



"Grant's bone-rattling guitar playing is showcased throughout…burning southern rock…it leaves you begging for more."

Tim Holek

"…boogie shuffle that might have come out of the old Sun Records studios… sure to get the audience jiving on the dance floor."

Bob Mackenzie
Sound Bytes
 


"This disc packs a wallop, coming out of nowhere to reveal a serious musician. A solid effort."

Eric Thom

Exclaim!
 


"...a classic blues album done in a tasteful and enjoyable way. Great guitar, an understated yet solid rhythm section, and just plain cool songs make this album a great pick for any blues fan."

Adam Walhout
Bluestime Productions




"...tremendous slide playing… helped by the fact he doesn't over indulge
."

Dave Thomas
Blues On Stage



"With bassist Scott Brammer and drummer Steve Woods, Lyle plays in a fluid, no-nonsense guitar style that has restored my faith in the trio form."

John Valenteyn
The Toronto Blues Society

 

"Backed up only by bassist Scott Brammer and drummer Steve Woods, this 10-track offering delightfully sneaks up on you, courtesy of its very intimate grove and its keen attention to detail. A choice mixture of blues standards, catchy instrumentals, solidly written originals, and some scintillating axe-work Brotherhood manages to cover a lot of bases along the way. Brotherhood garners a very high recommendation from this quarter."

Gary Tate
T.O. Nite Magazine
 


"Hey There D.J. Dawg, Well, you soothed my soul on a Sunday with the coolest of slow blues!!  Very fun way to spend a Sunday morning. Gotta' say this Grant Lyle with "Make It Alright & Reflections" took my breath away! Did you say they call their band "The Brotherhood" ? ....."
