repetitious or tiresome.”

seriously, but the Cooks are a reminder that sometimes music is just fun.”

“The record is an exhausting exercise in genre-hopping and offers more
twists than you can count on a single listen.”
— The Oklahoman
“My Side is a good all-around album pick for fans of blues or bluegrass,
rock or rockabilly.”

— The Oklahoma Gazette
“down-to-earth stories, swaying instrumental backing and a healthy dose of
clean fun, listeners will want to take the Cook side in any family feud”
— The Oklahoma Gazette
“The Electric Rag band reminds one of the nascent era of the deep blues
and underground country scenes when the definitions for the music were
nebulous, but the music always found an amiable sound. It is a respect for
all styles of roots music forms but a devout loyalty to none in particular
that go into that acquired underground roots taste.”
