Details:
"Old Gray Mule hosted an 80th birthday tribute to North Mississippi's Junior Kimbrough at TC's Lounge recently, a perfect pairing of atmosphere and attitude. The Lockhart duo has the dog in 'em certainly, delivering instrumental juke joint blues of the Fat Possum variety with a ass pocket of whiskey." Austin Powell, music reviewer Austin Chronicle

"Old Gray Muleâs debut was recorded in two hours and 50 minutes in the beautifully restored Edythe Bates Chapel in Round Top. That Festival Hill venue is most often the site of classical music, not this duoâs foot-stompin,â tent revival sound, but OGM had an in with the manager because Falco, who works for a local stone outfitter, helped build the catacombs under the chapel."

âSound Like Somethinâ Fell Off The House,â which features ten instrumental boogie blues numbers by guitarist Charley (âC.R.â) Humphrey and drummer Joe Falco, sounds at home on South Australiaâs community-based, pure roots label. The duoâs front porch party sound, stripped down to just muscle and bone, could be called âlowdown under blues.â
- Michael Corcoran, Austin American Statesman

"Itâs about time Austin added a down and dirty, board stomping blues band to itâs eclectic jukebox! Iâve caught OGM at Latitude 30 a couple of times and always ended up with a sore heel and a sweaty mind. C.R. weaves guitar riffs so dirty I felt like Iâd been sitting next to the ***** in church. If you havenât seenâem yet, get out this weekend, drop 5 bucks at the door and let some of that delta mud pump through your veins."
