“Since making his big initial splash a decade ago with a first place win in the Blues Foundation’s 2009 International Blues Challenge in Memphis plus the Albert King Award for Best Guitarist, Soars has only added to his good reputation with every subsequent release and tour,” says ROCK AND BLUES MUSE. “This is all great stuff and J.P.’s fans will love it. New to Soars? Then this is a great example of what he can do. Benoit’s helped produce and pull out a super set of tunes that will make your summer travels a lot of fun as you savor this CD over and over again. I highly recommend it!” raves BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE (Album Review of ‘Let Go Of The Reins’ produced by Tab Benoit).
