Relix said of West County Drifter, "Lindell’s throaty, soulful vocals and laid-back acoustic grooves recall the likes of G. Love & Special Sauce."
The is from the just released review from Blues Revue, "it is bluesy — as well as jazzy and soulful — and represents a fine debut for Eric Lindell on M.C. Records, a new record label for him."
