“Jimbo Mathus is a link in what I call the ‘crazy Mississippi white-boy’ chain of music that goes all the way back through Elvis Presley to Jimmie Rogers…white musicians playing black music and influencing people in both cultures.” -Luther Dickinson,

Honest Tune talks with Jimbo Mathus
-Candise Kola, Honest Tune
“James Mathus prefers to keep it real, playing down-home Delta blues that's as pure as it gets.”
-Jenny Eliscu, CMJ New Music First“Mathus’ feel for this music is flawless.”
-Phillip van Vlek, Metro Magazine“Jimbo and his ever changing array of fine musicians will bombard your senses with a prodigious arrangement of blues ballads varying from tongue in cheek spoken word style story telling to fast paced, boot stomping , sing along.”
-Rohner, Lab Productions Magazine“Mathus realizes his vision of a modern day blues that incorporates country and gospel and boogie music but above all praises the groove.”
-Tom Speed, Honest Tune Magazine“What makes Jimbo’s music so addictive is his bizarre ability to play such a wide range of classic musical forms as they sounded at birth.”
-Tone Quest Report“He undoubtedly is talented and when it comes time to chronicle the history of music, Mathus ought to be remembered for playing Guy's Chicago blues through Kimbrough's Mississippi mud-filled amp, reconciling two antipodal styles as few have done before him.”
-Steven Bevilaqua, The Clarion-Ledger“The sheer joy which with Mathus approaches the music he loves is so infectious that it doesn’t just spill over into the rest of his players—it’ll some right outta the stereo and get you , too.”
-Geroge Zah, Splendid Magazine
