"I have been a Jimmy Carpenter fan for 20 years, from the first time I heard him play with Jimmy Thackery. He's always been one of the premier sax players around. But Jimmy is also a stellar songwriter and singer. His voice is at its best on ‘Soul Doctor’, Jimmy's best record to date. This album oozes cool and rocks hard with a classic sound that only Jimmy Carpenter can bring to the table.” - Mike Zito “I enjoyed this album from start to finish. Carpenter does a great job on vocals and tenor saxophone throughout and the bands does an exceptional job, too!” - Steve Jones, Blues Blast Magazine Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoltp7w1bjM&t=201s
