This band has an outstanding pedigree including four years on the road with Lazy Lester. In the ten years they ‘ve been together they have shared the stage with a good many blues legends so it is with real anticipation I gave this, their debut cd a twirl. No disappointment. It’s a belter with 15 prime cuts of modern urban blues. In Rob Nelson they have a superb guitarist whose fluid and creative playing illuminates this album. But this is no one man show. Chicago Vin Earnshaw’s strong bass playing , Peter Shonk’s rhythm guitar ,harp & vocal and Bob Soiot’s drums & vocal are all first rate..... One of the prime American blues bands." Keith Fitton; BLUEPRINT Magazine London, England “Rob Nelson is a skilled and imaginative guitarist whose solos alternate between the rollicking and the wrenched ….He often sounds like B.B. King with thicker fingers.†The Toronto Globe “LOADED DICE has been around since before God, and Rob Nelson’s guitar work has jelled with that of his longtime band mates into a smokin’ reincarnation of the heyday of Chicago blues…†Michael Caito Providence Phoenix “Bob Soiot kicks the hell out of the drum kit…. Put him on my team any day…Formidable Vocals†The Patriot Ledger “Harpist Peter Shonk blows in a style all his own and can make his harmonica wail, talk, sing, moan; whatever the piece calls for"…. Southern Maine Blues Society “Chicago Vin Earnshaw has the versatility and drive to make the band fire on all cylinders.†The Providence Journal “Rhode Island’s LOADED DICE is no crap shoot…They succeed, favoring discipline and understatement over flamboyance and gaucherie…..hit a winning streak when rendering slow blues, Drowning on Dry Land, and inject good fun into four genre- crossing instrumentals: Riding The Rails, Buzz Bomb, Coffee Milk, & Thai’s Tune. “ Frank-John Hadley, BLUESWIRE Magazine; Boston Ma.
