“The bluesy soul of Rayford comes on full steam” Q Magazine

"Sings like Otis Redding and Muddy Waters yet can dance like James Brown" Goldmine Magazine

"Think back to, say, the golden days of Chess Records and people like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters; then factor in the sound of classic soul men like Solomon Burke, Curtis Mayfield, and big-voiced icons like Teddy Pendergrass, and you're getting close to Rayford's sound" Soul, Jazz, and Funk Magazine
