“With the Jimmy Rogers cover ‘That’s Alright,’ BluesShack goes back in time more than seventy years, specifically to 1950. The lead role in this cover is given to guest musician Franck L. Goldwasser, aka Paris Slim, who leaves his mark on this cover with a magisterial slide guitar”

(Concert Monkey, Aug ’23)

“…That sudden voice reverberating through my speakers. Result: headphones on and amp up a few notches”

“From the first listen, the musical quality becomes evident. Singer Loes Jongerling connects with the sultry vocal timbre of soul and blues divas of yesteryears… promising future prospects for BluesShack.”

“Sultry urban blues, with a nod to the jazz variant, delivered with great depth. This is the blues in the most literal sense of the word.”

(Lust For Life, September 2023)

“Loes Jongerling has an easily accessible, warm voice that captivates throughout the entire album, and this actually applies to the entire band. ‘Ten To Five’ is a surprising record, I would almost say a future classic.”
