"...just a dozen songs performed with warmth and sincerity by a man who knows what he wants to say and how to say it." - Jim DeKoster, Living Blues
"The disc debut of South Louisiana blues guitarist Harry Hypolite is undoubtedly one of the best surprises of the year...Aficionados of Louisiana and southern blues in general will likely be enthralled by this offering as this Creole bluesman is diamond in the rough. His deep gravely, sandpaper rough voice drips with Spanish moss and insufferable humidity, which often leads to unexpected howls and bursts of pent-up anguish that's expressed as if it were the first time...As a guitarist, Hypolite hangs with the best of 'em, emitting warm, fluid tones from his candy apple red Gibson...Just like that fabled day when Chenier offered Hypolite his golden opportunity, another one of life's thrilling rides is just beginning for the 'Big Daddy'." - Dan Willging, ZydE-Zine, March 2002
"His open and syncopated acoustic and electric guitar licks are as steamy and brooding as the Louisiana swamps that serve as an ever present back drop to those rich and fulsome vocals which so memorably capture an essence of poverty, hard luck and heartache."
