“Mann has absorbed so many guitar styles that he can change moods on a dime, weaving lyrical single-string lines and chord harmonies that take his tunes across the musical divides between genres. Influenced early on by string-bending legends like Lonnie Johnson and Blind Blake along with the ragtime and Gospel blues of Reverend Gary Davis, Mann eventually developed an exceptionally animated and colorfully nuanced, blues-based style all his own.” – ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE

“The mixing with the other great musicians in this set takes Woody’s rootsy style to a new level, expanding the traditions with his originality.” – BLUES AND RHYTHM MAG
