A collection of recent reviews for this album: "Stunning...a breakthrough album of breathtaking American rock 'n roll." "...their arresting self-produced release, The Legend of Simon Peter". "Truly outstanding guitar work evokes the smoothness of Mark Knopfler; the fantastically varied song structure pays homage to the likes of Lennon and McCartney." www.phantomtollbooth.org "It reminded me of that classic rock sound I yearned for from Christian musicians when I was in college." "These guys have rich lyrics and a rich sound. If you're like me, you will appreciate the rich lyrics and good rock-n-roll these guys crank out (they reminded me of Tom Petty). Top that off with their clear heart for worship and you have a group that deserves attention from music lovers." www.1340mag.com "The Blackstones have adhered to that classic sound with awesome guitar leads and a steady rhythm that is sometimes bluesy, sometimes rock, and all worship." www.alphaomeganews.org "Listening to the Pacific Northwest's Blackstones is like cruising back through rock and roll history." "The 5-piece Blackstones bring a nice mix of 70s rock and modern garage rock topped with gritty vocals. Get ready to time travel: "Can'tSeemtoSober"s Santana strings, "FavoriteTune"s Lou Reed vocals over the Dead's guitars, and "Comeback" is pure Neil Young." www.grassrootsmusic.com "Aaron LaMere's gritty vocals, combined with the clean-driving guitars reminiscent of Third Day's Brad Avery, The Elms' Thom Daugherty, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell, provides a perfect music picture. I don't see any faults in The Legend of Simon Peter. I can only imagine The Blackstone's live show; if it retains the musical caliber and worshipful heart, it cannot be anything but amazing." -Hollie Stewart www.CMmusicweb.com
