“It’s one of the stranger instruments you’ll ever lay your eyes on, but lawdy, lawdy does it sound sweet in the capable hands of guitarist Aaron Moreland on the traditional tune ‘Legend of John Henry.’ I’m talking, of course, about his custom cigar box guitar, which has one bass string, three guitar strings, a fretless neck, hand-wound pickups, and tone as fat as a biscuits ’n’ gravy buffet. Moreland goes the traditional route as well, drawing from a colorful palette of electric and steel-string acoustic guitars on the trio’s swampy Delta blues and hill-country stomps. Notable too are singer Dustin Arbuckle’s considerable harmonica chops, exuding a big and rich tone and bona fide blues verve."

“Moreland & Arbuckle beat the Black Keys at their own game, presenting raw, gut-bucket blues in a commanding, visceral manner. Plain and simple, these guys kick the blues square in the derriere!”

Eric Feber, Virginian-Pilot

“This entire album is an all-you-can-eat countrified blues buffet, best-served with cold beer and pool tables. Amidst the Jonas Brothers and Lady Gag Gag, who knew they still made music like this? No matter, you’ll be glad they still do. Play this on your bike at maximum volume and Johnny Law will be pulling you over before the next off ramp, ‘cause you’ll be lost in some of the greatest road tunes this side of Memphis.”

“If Moreland & Arbuckle’s upcoming album Flood is any indication, 2010 is gonna be a great year for music. Guitarist Aaron Moreland and singer-harpist Dustin Arbuckle have been making music together for nearly a decade, and their playing has the ease and cohesion that only such longtime familiarity could produce.”

“…just fabulous! This is their debut CD with Telarc and it is strong from top to bottom. Guitarist Aaron Moreland has teamed up again with harp player Dustin Arbuckle, and they have a real gem in this new CD. Brad Horner is on drums and the three of them are just killer. Sometimes these guys are throw backs from 100 years ago, playing genuine delta blues. Two songs later and they are contemporary and putting fresh new sounds into our ears. Excellent slide, and guitar work. Stellar harmonica playing, and vocals that add to the mix. Brad never gets in the way with his drums, and they can keep a ‘John Henry’ beat going all day. With 13 cuts on the CD lasting almost 50 minutes Moreland & Arbuckle deliver the blues to us in 2010.”
