”How Swede it is. From the land of the Vikings comes Doctor Blues. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Lennart Olofsson leads an ensemble fronted by sweet-voiced vocalist Karin Rudefelt. Cooking with powerful restraint. Fine players all, and they´ve done their homework!”

Blues Revue - USA No 1 Blues Magazine

”Now that´s my kind of blues! Original, creative and soul infused. It all grooves with confidence. They have something “real” to say on their new CD, which defines their unique sound. Magic Brew has the Voodoo vibe! Have you guys been to the Crossroads or something? This blues actually makes me horny…”

Brian Kramer – Producer/Artist

"Karin Rudefelt and Doctor Blues are further proof of the grandeur and versatility of the Swedish Blues World."

Jefferson Blues Magazine(Swedens leading blues magazine)

"This is heavy, really heavy! Karin Rudefelt has to be Sweden's best blues singer and she even scores high on the overall listing. Add a band which knows what it’s doing and you get first class blues! Lennart Olofsson has written blues songs that are simply perfect. Modern blues which clings on to its roots and it is all good. It is blues that's vibrant, feels right and real. Buy the album if you want to hear blues that lives."

Lennart Gotesson - Dalademokraten (Newspaper, about Magic Brew)

“I have played a lot from the record “Breakin’ the Chain” and I am very impressed with both Karin and the band. This is so good that they should extend their touring to Norway as well. Norway deserves it!!”

Eivind Henriksen - Blue Note - Norwegian Radio

"Having listened to `Breaking The Chain` a few times now I have to say it’s at least as good as the last album. Simply a five star edition." ”I am playing tracks from your CD in my radio show ´Mojo Blues´! Exellent stuff that deserve exposure to a wider range of blues lovers!”

Vasja Ivanovski - Macedonian Radio - Skopje Blues & Soul Festival

“If you are looking for the right mix between fine rock and good blues, don´t forget to listen to the music of this cool Swedish band called `Doctor Blues`. A compact, temporary sound which doesn’t forget its tradition, with a passionate mood, simple grooves with real feeling and the beautiful voice of Karin Rudefelt.

Simone Bargelli - Rock´n Blues Today - Italian Radio

“Magic Brew is the best Swedish blues I´ve heard in many years, something that also should be experienced live. So I hope to see them in Denmark very soon!”

Kjell Andeassen – Radio Holsebro Denmark

"Doctor Blues has the ability to provide a variation of expression in a quite conservative category. Its rocky and heavy blues with a fresh sound and Karin Rudefelt must have one of Sweden's best female blues voices. Maybe a huge breakthrough waiting?"

Anders Tapola - Smalandsposten Magazine

“It´s a magic brew… Well done and ambitious of course. Still got the boots on the ground. Both aggressive & bold, as well as shuffling like in ´Point of no Return´. Neatly done!!!”

Fridhammar Media & Music

"Having listened to ´Magic Brew´ a few times now I have to say it is at least as good as the last album. Simply a five star edition."

Leif Carlsson – Smalands Music Archive/Music in South

“Doctor Blues is regarded to be one of the best live gigs in the country.”

Henric Tiselius – Stockholm City Magazine

“A song similar to this has never been heard at the Blue Beat Club before. Look out Bonnie and Norah!"

The Blue Beat Club Norrkoping

“Immediate goose bumps.”

Ttela Magazine

"With grace, knowledge and a wonderful balance they deliver the blues without hesitation and right in the face of the audience. Powerful and tender all at once."

Bjorn Danielson – Smalandsposten (Swedish newspaper)
