The Billy Banks  Sessions has had a great response

“Lewis and his band have produced an album that’s an entertaining and heartfelt tribute to its location and to its source material, which proves that rockabilly has plenty to offer in the twenty-first century music scene.”
Dave Haslam R2

” John and the boys have produced a gem,a lasting tribute to the doomed estate. The melting pot of Rockabilly, Rock’n’Roll and Country has spewed out some of the most engrossing music of the year, or for quiet some time for that matter.” “fifteen cuts of the highest quality”

Johnny Hop UK R’n’R

“A  absolute top notch album by one of the U.K finest Rockabilly Exports!!!”

Mad House Jump magazine Germany

” if you are  already a John Lewis fan, your’re gonna love this. If you want an introduction, you couldn’t get a better one”

Steve Aynsley NDT

” Fantastic CD”

Stefan, Bear Family Records

“Excellent stuff – as good as anything America has to offer”

Red Lick Records

“It cannot escape your notice how so much of what is perfectly good, but considered out of fashion, is destroyed these days, by people too stupid and greedy to see what they had.

 

“In this world of technology, gadgets, backing tracks & contrived bands, it is refreshing to hear man and guitar in perfect harmony.”
