Quotes:
“I thought blues guitarists were supposed to have names
like Magic Mofo and Guitar Blindbaby. In this case,
Dmitri Resnik will do just fine thank you.....Highly Recommended “
- The River Reporter
“His raw, southern vocals have a bayou sound mixed with a rich red clay accent that is unique.”
- The Chatham Record

“It takes guts to start an album with a slow blues instrumental.
It takes talent to make it work. Dmitri Resnik has a full supply of both”.
- Blues Revue Magazine
