MOHAWK PUNK:JIMMY WOLF [- Hide]
LAKOTA JOURNAL
"WOLF is perfectly primed to be a cult figure in native american music,and his radical musical stance could broaden the whole concept into a bold,new direction."-Wilhelm Murg-2002.

Tribeca Blues Festival [- Hide]
THE VILLAGE VOICE
"His feverish guitar solos color outside the lines because they have to,and his voice is just as overdriven and mercurial."-Zimmerman-MAY 2001.

DEEP DOWNTOWN CD REVIEW [- Hide]
JAMISON MAHTO-www.iicoc.com
I'm not certain that most would recognize the close association between our culture and the culture of the African American in the way that Jimmy Wolf does in his music. I was amazed and astounded when I heard the Pow Wow drum thumping behind a blistering blues solo. This is phenomenal. This is genius. It's natural as I see it. It only just makes sense. This is what I live for.-APRIL-2008.

Most of the songs on "Deep Downtown" are danceable and might be just what an audience is looking for when they want entertainment.It would be hard to stay in your seat while Wolf is rocking on stage.-Shannon Burns.

GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
Jimmy Wolf Rome, New York "My Mind Is Rambling"
This is a really conventional blues romp with zero surprises, so why do I dig it? Well, it's the little things. Wolf's guitar tone is tough and mean, his vocals have a gravelly swagger, and the solo at 1:15 fires off with some noisy bends and keeps on howling. myspace.com/jimmywolf
