Soul infused jazz funk by a blues hustler in the heart of Texas; sure, it makes even less sense when written down, but make no mistake: Jeff makes it look too easy, cruising along with expert craftsmanship and complexity whilst never losing its innate intricacy and unexpected accessibility. Basically, crushed red velvet for your ears, and he even sneaks a country song in there, that somehow never seems out of place. Superb - one day they _will_ find his albums at the Goodwill, and be happy they did. –cdbaby.com

Red Hot Texas Blues" is Michaels’ first blues album in several years, surprising, since he's lately spending as much time with his funk band as he is with Art Napoli and their metal speed-rock explosion known as "Trash Rock Kings"; his roadhouse blues extravaganza live shows have been less and less frequent. With material ranging from the gutsy, gritty blues call to arms of “Not This Time” (the protagonist is clearly an easy touch yet somehow manages to escape the temptation..) to the elegant yet emotionally shattering ballad “Rolling On Down The Street” to the soul-nourishing, all-out funk attack of the opening track “Bus Driver” on which Michaels’ voice rises up to meet the almighty power of the dirty funk riffs rolling out of the wall of marshalls... ---cdbaby.com
