Blues Revue Magazine: Lew Jetton & 61 South blur the line between straight-ahead blues and Southern Rock. Thumbs up for Tales From A 2 Lane!

Music City Blues: "Tales From A 2 Lane" gives a nod to straight-blues as well as good ole southern-fried boogie. Lew has always had a "way" with a lyric, and his sly sense of humor is apparent on several of the ten cuts he wrote herein. Our favorite, tho, has to be Lew's ode to one of the South's favorite roadside eateries, the hilarious "Waffle House Woman." Oh yeah, she works there, and gives him "lovin' to go, with a sweet jelly roll." Oh, and don't call her fat--"she's just big-boned!" This one kept us laughing all the way thru! There's a good reason that this CD spent the summer in the Top Five of XM Satellite Radio's Blues chart

Real Blues Magazine: " Jetton has a Southern drawl singin' voice that's straight 'ol blues and the guitar work drips with Dixie blues-rock flavor, but with a touch of Chicago.... Straight authentic Southern style blues in all its down-home glory....too damn good to be a local secret. 61 South should be on festival stages all over the U.S. showing how real Southern Blues should sound at it's best.....”


Nightlife: " Jetton is the real deal-- a passionate singer with a riveting voice and a strong, original guitar tone."
