"a sound born of blood, sweat, heart, soul and guts; a sound, in the simplest of terms, that is a combination of dirty rock’n’roll and aggressive blues. Now, I’m not talking neo-blues here, or pseudo-blues, which tends to pass for real blues in some circles these days for lack of anything better, but rather a sound influenced by traditional North Mississippi Hill Country blues…thereby inserting Ten Foot Polecats into what I refer to as the last of today’s living bluesmen, such as T-Model Ford, Possessed by Paul James, C.W. Stoneking, Bob Log III, Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, and Left Lane Cruiser, to name a few.

One doesn't really expect a sound such as the one Ten Foot Polecats own to come from Boston, Massachusetts. Perhaps from Mississippi, Louisiana, or Texas, but not Boston, which is better known for its Celtic punk and hardcore music these days. So when a band comes out of Boston with roots rock and blues as the main components to their particular sound structure...well, they better be damn serious about it, not to mention prepared to rock the house and lay down riffs, licks, percussion and vocals in a way that will make the old Delta, Piedmont and Hill Country masters proud. Ten Foot Polecats are just such a band, no doubt about it, and their debut full-length release "I Get Blamed For Everything I Do" on Texas's Hillgrass Bluebilly Records is the evidence to prove it."
