"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)."

"...a quantum leap forward for an obviously talented singer and songwriter. Her songs show an increased ability to be sharp, clear and build sensitive snapshots that relate to the universality common in the human condition."

"...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."

“The best thing about Red Top is that the record is as much about great songwriting as great playing. Mandeville puts her own songwriting voice out there to get the party started."

“Mandeville’s Red Top builds up a contemporary blues sound based on the stylistic bricks from its past, Mandeville is a master of the blues idiom, both vocally and in songwriting, and throughout Red Top shows top ability to teach the old blues dog new tricks.”
