Thanks so much for sending along a copy of the excellent new release from Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers. I've seen this band live many times and am a great fan of their music and, like most males who have seen them live, a big fan of Miss Honey! I can tell you now that this release will receive substantial airplay on my show. - The Blues Blowout / ( WIVI / VI.)
We just love the new cd. I had to play it through twice on my first listen. Even though we have a ton of new cd's, I predict Rod, Honey, & crew will fly to the top of the blues charts! - (WEFT / Chanpaign, IL.)
Thought I'd let you know that Piazza's "The Chosen Who" Cd , while it arrived too late in the month in June to chart, will definetly chart in July. Perhaps even in the top 5! Just came back from the North Atlantic Blues Festival here in Rockland Maine,one of the premier festivals in the country and everyone I spoke to is takling about the new Piazza disc. Another winner ffor Delta Groove and the blues world. - (WBOR /Branswicy, ME.)
This is another fine production from Delta Groove. I've listened to this new Rod Piazza several times and this baby is HOT!!! I'll see to it that it gets plenty of airplay. - (WRB / Lewsiston, ME.)
I've listened to it several times and I think it's very very good ! With well chosen and not obvious covers and very fine new songs. Among my favorite right now ? Let's see...I'M A LOVE YOU, YOU CAN MAKE IT...SHOESTRING, "HONEY'S BLUES", "DESCRIPTION OF A FOOL, but maybe tomorrow I'll change my mind... Monday morning I will leave for a ten days sea-vacation. I'll introduce it in my radioshow with so much pleasure when I'll be back (12-13) and I'll send you the playlist.
I've listened to the disc 3 times now & have come to the conclusion that this is quite
possibly one of his finest outings to date. The cast of supporting artists reads like a who's who & the return to a roots feel cements this disc as one that will undoubtedly garner Rod & company another fistful of Handys. Count on airplay in Houston from the Hound. I'll be sure to mention Delta Groove's website & the other outstanding projects available from the DG family.

I recieved the "chosen who". I think it is Rod's best stuff yet! Thank you I will be giving this a lot of airplay. - (KUNV / LV, NV.)
I particularly love the backing vocals that at times sounds like i am in church with a tinge of gospel going on here. Hey, guess that goes with the title "The Chosen Who",,,I feel like I have been saved! All I can say is watch for this one to chart bigtime here at WBOR. - (WBOR / ME.)
Just letting you know we did receive the Piazza disc and man I am speechless,,,,What a fantastic cd,,like the liner notes say this cd has a little of everything,,,The couple of instrumentals on here I am thinking of using one or the other for my shows new intro song (love Honey's Blues) Also, Rod's guests on this disc are superb, love Guy's and Ramos guitars and WOW, Johnny Dyer on vocals,,I am a big fan of his.
This is a great disc! It's nice to hear Rod pay tribute to Little Walter, Sonny Boy and the under appreciated Jimmy Reed. Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flyers never disappoint, this will get plenty of airplay on The Big Blues Broadcast.
He's getting back to his roots. Nice stuff. - (KFAI / St. Paul, MN.)
Yes and its great as expected!
I received both the DVD-less one (which I have reviewed and put on the ADD list at WFHB radio in Bloomington, IN), and the one WITH the DVD which I haven't yet had a chance to watch, but I must say this is a good disc. I've always admired Rod's adherence to really good/deep blues and this is a great statement of it. Really liked Randy's harp solo too! Nice work!
Got it, airing it even as we speak. Thanks!!
Got the Rod Piazza Cd the other day. Iplayed it and I will have to commend Rod and Delta Groove for another superb production. You people have been so consistent with really fine quality musitions and material, ever since Ive' been aware of your label. My congrats. youve' got another winner there for sure. - (WMWM Radio Salem, Ma)
Delta Groove is becoming the major force in the blues world. Good! New Piazza's album sounds great - it may be the best he has recorded yet. The arrangements are interesting, the band is tight and special guests add some extra spices.
Thanks so much for the new Rod Piazza CD! Very nice productions – great sound. I kind of feel sorry for anything else we received this week, because it’s not going to get very much attention! - (WMUA 91.1 fm / Anherst, MA.)
“Just got your package containing the new Mannish Boys and Kirk Fletcher CD’s. Can’t wait to get them in the player and add them to the play list.” - (KEMC / MT)
"adding them to AAA format” - (WOLV / MI)
