"The Papa George Band are no ordinary blues band. You could say that their music has a raw and rare quality reminiscent of Steve Ray Vaughan's Texas style of blues. Having said that they also retain their own distinctive sound especially as they blend their strong original material with some well recognised covers such as 'Pride & Joy' by Stevie Ray Vaughan and 'Oh Well' by Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac."
