CD Reviews
STATE OF MIND, STATE OF MINE
Sharon | MURRAY KENTUCKY | 08/13/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"LEW IS ONE OF THE NICEST GUYS I HAVE EVER MET. HE SINGS THE BLUES WITH ALL HIS HEART AND SOUL, AND THE GUITAR IS WONDERFUL. IF I AM EVER FEELING A LITTLE "BLUE" I STICK IN THE "STATE LINE BLUES" AND A SMILE SOON COMES. IT'S AN AWESOME CD. MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT THERE IS NOT ANOTHER ONE. HE PLAYED A SOLO FOR ME OF "HE AIN'T HEAVY HE'S MY BROTHER" AT MY BROTHERS FUNERAL. IT MADE THE MOMENT MORE BEARABLE TO KNOW THAT MY BROTHER HAD SUCH WONDERFUL AND TALENTED FRIENDS, AND I AM GLAD TO CALL LEW MY FRIEND. HIS CD ALSO INSPIRED MY NEW TATTOO. I HAVE "STATE OF MIND-STATE OF MINE" TATTOOED ON MY LEG. STATE LINE BLUES REALLY IS A STATE OF MIND."
A Local favorite and a great talent........

"Mr. Jetton is our local weatherman on WPSD tv in Paducah, KY.....he is also a gifted bluesman and lyricist as this album proves.....my favorite tracks are "Curse the Day", "Bad Boy", and "Heavy Weather". Mr. Jetton and his band do our area proud with this release...add to that Lew's one heck of a nice guy!"

"my wife and i heard this band last year at the sparta, illinois blues fest, and believe me, they stole the show...a touch of chuck berry, a touch of lynnyrd skynyrd, and a touch of delbert mcclendon...and a whole bunch of soul and spirit...this band is terrific..."
Surprise!

"Lew Jetton and 61 South sound like they're fresh from New Orleans! Never would I have expected such depth and "blues" talent from Western Ky. In my opinion Lew can hold his own with the old masters. Best of luck in the future and any time now he can "Give up the day job!!""
Great Group of Players

"I don't know if it's really fair to evaluate a release from my own studio, but I want to say that I truly love the CD, and it is one of my favorite listening choices. Lew's writing is very good, the players all had their hearts in what they were doing, and Lew sings from the heart and soul. It is a pleasure to know him, and to have had the opportunity to work with him. I recommend the CD to anyone who loves the blues."
