Reviews
"This is some serious boogie piano." -- East
County Gazette
"If you ever get a chance to see Vest with a band or Vest alone, don't
pass it up because it's a great show." -- Walla
Walla Blues Society review
"This disc is a must-have." -- The
CBA review of Way Down Here
"One of the greatest living boogie-woogie pianists." -- Tom D'Antoni, pdx magazine
"The pianist of record
when Paul deLay passed, David Vest, kept the band intact, added the Texas Horns,
and showed why he's one of the finest on the barrelhouse piano. His smoky vocals
were tender and tough as needed, but he attacked the keys with a ferocity few
possess." -- The Oregonian, describing
DV's set at the 2007 Waterfront Blues Festival.
"They smoked and rocked
the place like Mt. St. Helens was going off again. The David Vest set at the
Miller Stage where I work was one of the hottest sets not just of this week
but of any I have heard." -- CBA member.
