Reviews for Blue Flame

“Karp’s eye for detail, the range of emotions, and clever sense of humor prevail. Throughout, Karp impresses with his expressive voice and passionate playing.  There’s bristling animation and energy in these baker dozen’s tunes that surpasses much of Karp’s previous work.”
Jim Hynes, Elmore Magazine

“The list of musicians who have stepped up to play alongside bluesman Peter Karp is a long one — from old school blues icons like Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker to contemporary ones like Don Henley, Ric Ocasik and Jackson Browne. Karp, however, is seldom starstruck, so even when a guy like Mick Taylor, formerly of the Rolling Stones, calls him up for a collaboration, Karp sees it as validation for the work he’s doing.”

 "It isn't difficult to see why so many critics and fans support this man and his music. Not only can Karp play a truly mean guitar...but he's also got a totally cool soulful voice that provides the perfect focal point for his songs. Peter's obviously a crowd pleaser. Check out any of his live videos for some solid proof."

“His blend of blues and roots styles is diverse, passionate and powerful...written from deep wells of experience. Reminiscent of John Prine and Bob Dylan in many respects, Karp has learned that there is nothing more powerful or effective than the truth. This is good on so many levels. If you're a fan of roots music with roots deep in the blues, this is one album you will want to add to your collection. “

“A rocker with more blues than rock in his slide guitar attack, this is a top shelf act that delivers the goods with plenty of bounce to the ounce. Smoking hot killer stuff that never quits, that's a winner throughout.”
