FOOTPRINTS ON THE CEILING

THIS CD WAS VOTED 'BEST CHICAGO BLUES ALBUM OF THE YEAR' AND 'BEST BLUES PRODUCTION OF THE YEAR' BY REAL BLUES MAGAZINE (2002).

"This album is exceptional. It should be considered 'best blues album of the year'."
– ROLLIN' & TUMBLIN' (JUNE 2002)

"This is surely some of the liveliest and most exiting blues to be found anywhere."
– BLUES TIMES (SUMMER 2003)

"As with MISSISSIPPI HEAT's previous releases, you don't have to be a harmonica player to appreciate FOOTPRINTS ON THE CEILING. This is good listening music with enough varied texture and creative energy to keep the experience of listening to this CD fresh each time you listen to it. Of course, much of the credit for the success of the band, and this album in particular, goes to harp player Pierre Lacocque who takes advantage of nuances of the harp that most players haven't even thought about. … Pierre Lacocque has a way with the harp, giving it the right emphasis. Not too much, not too little, just right. And the MISSISSIPPI HEAT does the rest."
– AMERICAN HARMONICA NEWSMAGAZINE (SEP 2002)

"An exceptional CD. … It is a pleasure to hear such a solid blues album of original tunes that can be enjoyed repeatedly … The piece de resistance is the fantastic harp playing by Pierre Lacocque."
– BLUES NEWS (JAN 2002)

"Fantastic. … One of the best Blues group in a while. MISSISSIPPI HEAT is an awesome group. I can happily hear FOOTPRINTS ON THE CEILING over and over again. This CD is just what I was looking for: Something new and exciting. …
This is absolutely one of the best Blues albums I have heard in a long time. Every cut seems to flow ever so smoothly. I find myself hitting the repeat button on my CD player on about every song. …
Absolutely perfect! … FOOPRINTS ON THE CEILING boasts a cohesive and astonishing sound. … I can't stop dancing to this CD and can't wait to share the musical genius hidden inside this pleasure-full recording with all my friends."

– CD REVIEWS COLLECTED FROM cdbaby.com

"Pierre Lacocque is a superb harmonica player who has succeeded to preserve (Little Walter's) sound while showing a unique maturity which I keep savoring with every listen."
– LE DEVOIR (MONTREAL)

"Great sound music with horns and back-up vocals! The best sounding blues CD I have heard this year bar none. … (Pierre's) harp is original and haunting."
