Some early reviews:
- “some of the most twisted storytelling you’ll hear all year….more delicious turns of phrase in a single song than most artists come up with on an entire album” – Blurt Magazine
- “With the help of members of The Sadies, Reigning Sound, and Freakwater, Geer crafts another journey through America’s weird musical heritage on The Devil & The Blues” – PopMatters
- “The drums stomp, guitars gallop and Geer’s stand-and-deliver vocal style verges on violent. Wisps of smoke issue from the speakers – and there are still 11 tracks to go.”– Mountain Xpress, Asheville, NC
- “…the sound of a band playing while the world burns down around them” – American Standard Time
- “Rebellious roots music with Pentecostal zeal” – WNCW
