“Fronted by blues slide guitar virtuoso and vocalist Paul Benoit…Damn they’ve got it. Paul’s got a little Hound Taylor and
Duane in him.”

“The man deserves a packed house.”
•Top DIY Picks, Performing Songwriter Jan/Feb 2006 Combustible CD Review

on the ears.”
•The Music Blog, September 27th, 2005 Paul Benoit is “Combustible”
“He communicates a musical vision with a soulfulness that owes as much to Motown as Fred McDowell. “
•Kotori Magazine, Issue 6 https://www.tradebit.com, 270 degree reviews
“Listen. Relax. Repeat…. an album like this allows one (yes, ME) to tend to your bleeding ears and your broken heart at the
same time with whimsical melodies deliberating life''s eternal reflection.”
•Paul de Barros, Jazz Critic Seattle Times
“The authoritative string-playing of the bluesy Benoit and the bluegrassy Law keep musical interest high, whether they are
playing tunes drawn from Appalachia or India.”
•The Stranger
“All that matters is Hanuman''s blend of jazz, bluegrass, country and rock ''n'' roll with African beats sounds damn good.”
