FOOTPRINTS
ON THE CEILING
THIS CD WAS VOTED 'BEST CHICAGO BLUES ALBUM OF THE
YEAR' AND 'BEST BLUES PRODUCTION OF THE YEAR' BY
REAL BLUES MAGAZINE (2002).
"This album is
exceptional. It should be considered 'best blues
album of the year'."
– ROLLIN' & TUMBLIN' (JUNE 2002)
"This is surely
some of the liveliest and most exiting blues to
be found anywhere."
– BLUES TIMES (SUMMER 2003)
"As with MISSISSIPPI
HEAT's previous releases, you don't have to be a
harmonica player to appreciate FOOTPRINTS ON THE
CEILING. This is good listening music with enough
varied texture and creative energy to keep the experience
of listening to this CD fresh each time you listen
to it. Of course, much of the credit for the success
of the band, and this album in particular, goes
to harp player Pierre Lacocque who takes advantage
of nuances of the harp that most players haven't
even thought about. … Pierre Lacocque has
a way with the harp, giving it the right emphasis.
Not too much, not too little, just right. And the
MISSISSIPPI HEAT does the rest."
– AMERICAN HARMONICA NEWSMAGAZINE (SEP 2002)
"An exceptional
CD. … It is a pleasure to hear such a solid
blues album of original tunes that can be enjoyed
repeatedly … The piece de resistance is the
fantastic harp playing by Pierre Lacocque."
– BLUES NEWS (JAN 2002)
"Fantastic. …
One of the best Blues group in a while. MISSISSIPPI
HEAT is an awesome group. I can happily hear FOOTPRINTS
ON THE CEILING over and over again. This CD is just
what I was looking for: Something new and exciting.
…
This is absolutely one of the best Blues albums
I have heard in a long time. Every cut seems to
flow ever so smoothly. I find myself hitting the
repeat button on my CD player on about every song.
…
Absolutely perfect! … FOOPRINTS ON THE CEILING
boasts a cohesive and astonishing sound. …
I can't stop dancing to this CD and can't wait to
share the musical genius hidden inside this pleasure-full
recording with all my friends."
– CD REVIEWS COLLECTED FROM cdbaby.com
"Pierre Lacocque
is a superb harmonica player who has succeeded to
preserve (Little Walter's) sound while showing a
unique maturity which I keep savoring with every
listen."
– LE DEVOIR (MONTREAL)
"Great sound
music with horns and back-up vocals! The best sounding
blues CD I have heard this year bar none. …
(Pierre's) harp is original and haunting."
