“At the opening bars of Swampcandy's The Dirty Suite I got excited... Down-dirty, bump-and-grind, moaning-and-groaning blues roots music. I'm thinking that these guys are channeling R.L. Burnside or some other departed Hill-country or Delta blues master. The ethnomusicologists will get tied in knots over this one. Is it blues or rock? Is it roots or fusion? It is very clearly blues-based but there is also an element of rock that colors most the cuts.
Some of the instrumentation could be mistaken as contemporary influenced but Swampcandy
(aka Ruben Dobbs) has just done his homework.
He has seen the blues in all it's hues.” — Tampa Blue, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
