“Woody Russell has crafted a lovely collection of original blues and soul music… appealing guitar tones; his crisp, inventive lines blend funk and blues with Jeff Beck’s fearlessness.” – Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue (Jan/Feb issue 2011)

"Pure genius in the form of Texas blues."

-Doug Morrissey, Muzik Reviews

"Kick ##$ blues from Texas"

–Weston Jarrett, Radio Submit

"Russell's guitar work is exemplary and his vocals alternate between fiery and soulful… a strong composer with a unique perspective on the blues. If you like your blues with a touch of soul and rock, Up Against It will be a satisfying purchase."

-Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes

"Excitingly fresh, diverse and dynamic approach to the blues. Pick up a copy and give it a spin...you'll be glad you did."

"A very good musician, an exceptional singer and let's not forget Woody's songwriting that seals the deal for this total package artist."
