Reviews, releases and quotes collected on the original Husky Records site for the Son of Dave and B. Darvill’s Wild West Show albums.

Selected quotes

“A wildly creative album.”The Winnipeg Free Press

“Son of Dave is representative of a man totally at home with the vibe — a mountain-bound-blues-shaped Beck with his sampler turned off and his Prince albums in the cupboard. It’s that good.”24/7 Magazine (UK)

“Techno grooves and butt kickin’ blues riffs opens a big can of whup-ass, riding a slinky beat and meaty guitar. A treat.”Winnipeg Sun

“Darvill uses the blues with thumping beats and electronic flourishes. A monster!”Vue Weekly

“Wanders easily from blues-harmonica instrumentals to the heart of Tom Waits territory.”John Sakamoto

“Shades of John Lennon, Steely Dan and Beck.”Toronto Star

“Genius. Top stuff. ★★★★”NOW Magazine
