Praise for Diamonds on the Desert Floor
Just run down the list of contemporary female artist of the year nominees at the Blues Music Awards and you’ll see some heavyweight performers. Well, brace yourselves, because the newest addition to that list has arrived, and in a big way – “Long Tall Deb” Landolt.
~John Luttrell, FulltimeBlues.com
Any singer who opens her record “Sitting outside with a shot of Drambuie, contemplating love in the moonlight” has got my ear. (Long Tall Deb) Landolt is a powerful singer who was raised in the dirt of Texas blues and she writes with a keen, songwriter’s eye.
~Art Tipaldi, Blues Revue
“Despite an abundance of blues rockers across the globe these days, Long Tall Deb & the Drifter Kings of Columbus, Ohio, still manages to carve its niche with this eleven-track, all-original debut.”
~Dan Willging, Blueswax
“I’ve really been taken by the whole package. Her voice is very expressive and carries loads of truth and emotion and the band is up to carrying her soulfulness!”
~Mike Reisz, WDPS-FM , Dayton, Ohio
“It’s understandable if you rub your eyes a bit the first time you catch Long Tall Deb Landolt onstage. Not only is she really tall—more than 6 feet—but she’s a tall blonde. And she belts out the blues more like Aretha than, say, Bonnie Raitt. In fact, the Texan-born Buckeye plays not only the blues but soul and R&B, in addition to boogie-woogie and other styles. Deb and the Drifter Kings’ 2010 debut album, Diamonds on the Desert Floor, is a powerhouse collection of original numbers.
~ Richard Ades, The Other Paper, Columbus, Ohio
“Deb sings like a caged animal whose emotions are barely being held in check…if this CD is any indication, Deb and the band are destined for bigger and better things”
~ Steve Jones, Blues Blast Magazine
“I have been deeply touched everytime I have listened to this album”
~ Mladen Loncar, Radio Krizevci, Croatia
“This excellent CD offers a real maturity seldom heard on debut recordings…each song stands out on its own”
~Ron Bervoets, Rootstime.be, Belgium
