"Pete Anderson is as much a magician as a musician. He's been taking great sounds and making them greater so long he should get a prize. His new album takes everything to the next level, showing how this man really has few peers when it comes to music to curl your toes and supply the key to the highway. 'Even Things Up' is a true groove from start to finish."
-Bill Bentley, sonicboomers.com

"An earthy, felt, eloquent set of blues (and beyond) from guitar paragon Anderson. The maestro, as ever, does not disappoint."
-Jonny Whiteside, LA Weekly

" someone whose name belongs with Clapton, Hendrix, Harrison, and Stevie Ray Vaughan... never pass up a chance to sit in a darkened room and watch Pete Anderson play guitar."
-Kathy Coleman, Roughstock.com

"A blend of simplicity and sophistication, this CD is masterfully understated, gorgeously produced, and a true pleasure to listen too. Anderson’s playing is so tasteful and emotive, and the band grooves so sweetly that you won’t want to take this one out of your player. It will, however, have you returning often to his website to find out when he’s going to tour in support of it."
-Miles Overn, Global Eidentities Internet

"Pete simply sings his %$ off on these tracks and his guitar playing is simply scrumptious with tasty chops to the bone. This release is a great example of what great mixing and mastering should sound like. Little Dog Records deserves a pat on the back for releasing this first class project for blues fans around the world. "
