CD Reviews
Best blues/rock/country since SRV himself!
red curtis | ottawa, ontario, canada | 11/01/2000

"Rabid Matt Minglewood fans have waited a long time for this album, and was it ever worth the wait! From the beginnings of "how high" to the title track, the listener gets that unbeleivable blend of country/rock/blues that only Matt can deliver. From his original tunes, to the blues standards, to the lenny gallant penned "black spruce river", Drivin' wheel is a must have in anybody's collection.Buy it, listen to it, and you will be an instant fan of a brilliant musician/singer/songwriter. (And don't forget to go see Minglewood live whenever you can!)"

"it was a long wait, but it was worth it. this is the cd of the year. it is of international quality. it won't be long before the rest of the world catches on. i am sure matt has alot more songs bottled up inside of him, let's hope the next cd isn't as long of a wait. matt is the hardest working musician in canada. if he comes to a town near you, go to the show you won't be disapointed. keep up the good work matt."
Classic Minglewood!

"Minglewood fans, rejoice! Matt and the boys have released their long-awaited new album, and it is a classic! Fabulous new material includes "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Darkest Shade of Blue", "Travellin' Man" and my favourite, "Cape Crusader". With a driving beat typical of much of his live work, "Cape Crusader" is autobiographical ("You can call me Matt, you can call me Roy, I'm the Cape Crusader, I'm a Good Ole Boy") and is in the true Minglewood spirit. Anyone who has been on the road and lonesome for home will relate to "Travellin' Man"--it will grip your heart and remind you of the daily life of dedicated musicians like Matt and the band. Maybe the best of all, though, for true Minglewood aficiondos, are the very popular back-to-back tunes, "Hughie T. & Annie Lizzie" and "Somebody Help Me"--they will no doubt evoke memories of those great times had at live Minglewood performances. I highly recommend this album anyone who loves rock and blues but especially to all those Minglewood fans. And, by the way, no Maritimer should be without it!"
A must-have CD for your collection
lynn moore | Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada | 11/12/2000

"This CD was, by far the best purchase I have ever made. I never tire of listening to it. Whether at home or travelling in your car, this CD is a must! It is very difficult to pick out a favorite song on this CD as each one is terrific. Some get your feet tapping others take you to that special place with fond memories. The talent on this CD is incredible, with music and lyrics of the highest quality. Each member of this band has so much talent which is clearly evident by their sound. The CD was long in coming, but definitely worth the wait. It is like a good novel in a series, you can hardly wait to see what is coming up next."
