Critical Acclaim
Armstrong is the leader of the last black string band still making music in America. And in his outrageously colorful way he recounts his life and plays the kind of music with roots that helped shape blues, jazz, country, gospel, ragtime, western swing, and even rock 'n roll.”
— Frank Hunter
St. Louis Globe-Democrat
He's such a marvelous creation that it's hard to believe he's a mere mortal.”
— Patrick Goldstein
