"Chicago guitarists and redhead (they call her "Red Top") Mandeville continues to show a knack for clever, often cheeky lyrics with her brand of windy city blues. Tongue in cheek takes it to the extreme. That pretty much describes this fun (for a lack of a better word)."

“...what really stands out is her unique voice. In one song you might hear a hint of Sippie Wallace, or a hint of a Lou Ann Barton-like rasp, but in the end, the voice is hers alone, and she makes it a perfect fit for every style of blues to which she pays tribute.”

"...simply a party on a platter. A dandy example of the blues, chasing the blues away from start to finish."

"...plays up her lusty, no nonsense way with lyrics. She takes on a growing urgency when riding the crests of Chicago/Texas blues and Memphis style soul music."

“… displays her tenderness, her toughness and her ability to rock. Liz blasts through original material with a humorous zest for life. "Spanky Butt" and "Guilty of Rockin' All Night" will have you dancing in your living room.”
