- CHICAGO BLUES GUIDE
“On So Close To It, Breezy reaffirms his crisp, clean mastery of electric blues guitar, displaying a keen sense of tradition and proving himself a convincing vocalist as well.”
“Breezy became one of the top players in town, fronting a band that breathes the very essence of blues”
“On “So Close To It,” Breezy Rodio shows that he is well enough entrenched in the Chicago blues community to summon an A list of accompanists and guests from Lurrie Bell to organist Chris Foreman. He has written and chosen appropriate musical vehicles, and infuses them with immaculately tasteful vocals and guitar, displaying a noteworthy affinity with the legacies of T-Bone Walker and B.B. King.”
