Reviews
…blues and blues/rock performed with unadorned and unpretentious
style and taste.
Unleashed will reward those who like to actually listen to music.
Living Blues/March-April 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranging in texture from a Band-like Florida Bound to the ZZ Top quality
of Payday Blues, The underdogs are always having a good time, and that
ain’t bad. Good original songs, equally original covers.
Blues Access/Issue #38
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...Many of their tunes are made for some GTO top-down cruisin’
or butt-struttin’, funky chicken dance action...the ‘Dog
version of Heartbreak Hotel is so good, you forget about the other guy
who made it famous...Good stuff.
Dirty Linen #86 Feb/Mar, 2000

- The Underdogs - "Unleashed" - 5 Stars
…tracks so hot they steam the cover, this album defines the sound
of indie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...has a lot going for it, not the least of which is some very fine musicianship...this band puts forth the effort needed to make it to the finish line in good position.

Packed with an infectious beat, "Unleashed" is one toe-tapping, finger-snapping recording. …remarkably eclectic, not to mention fun.

I must say, I’m impressed. It's beautifully underplayed and completely
in the pocket. A great example of the "new blues".

I love the CD. [The underdogs] have got the blues/roots thing absolutely
nailed… All around, an excellent effort and I'm sure, a welcome
addition to any music lover's CD collection.

This is a very cool CD. I just put it in heavy rotation. Lots of great
cuts, esp. “Florida Bound”, “One Kiss”, “I’m Ready”, “Bayou Country”, “Cry
to Me”, “Another Day”, “Payday Blues”, “Bye-Bye”.

This sounds really good!

The Underdogs surprise by making each tune on their CD an adventure
into a different blues rock idiom. The Underdogs are sure to be appreciated
by blues lovers and Southern rockers alike.

The record is filled with quality stuff (the insurmountably gorgeous
"Another Day" is one of the finer songs I've heard lately!),
and is a helluva fun listen. So stop dusting off those old roadhouse
blues vinyl lp's and give these 'dogs a spin.

...Unleashed is a tasty gumbo of southern blues'n'roots and should appeal
to a broad section of blues heads.

It is an intriguing and eclectic CD!

The underdogs rule! Very classy and highly professional!

…the most remarkable trait that threads through "Unleashed"
is …where the band sounds loose, raw and alive, while the recording
quality is crisp and flawless. As you'd figure, guys this confident
have chops to spare….
Focus Magazine, Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Great blues cd… definitely a toe tapping experience… a solid (5) HARP SALUTE CD, well worth your money, gets better with repeated listening, you will not get tired of this one!
