"Jimmy Carpenter is truly one of the world's great rock and roll, Blues, and soul saxophone players. Pure heart and soul mixed with amazing energy!!" - Walter Trout
"He's always been one of the premier sax players around. But Jimmy is also a stellar songwriter and singer. His voice is at its best on 'Soul Doctor', Jimmy's best record to
date." - Mike Zito
"I have been a Jimmy Carpenter fan for 20 years, from the first time I heard him play with Jimmy Thackery. He's always been one of the premier sax players around. But Jimmy is also a stellar songwriter and singer. His voice is at its best on 'Soul Doctor', Jimmy's best record to date. This album oozes cool and rocks hard with a classic sound that only Jimmy Carpenter can bring to the table." Mike Zito
"Soul Doctor takes you into the mind of an amazingly talented artist." - IndiePulse Music
"He had everyone up dancing, nice uplifting soul blues with fab Sax that put a smile on our faces, left you feeling on a high." - Chris Cooper, Carlisle Blues Festival 2021.
"...confirming Carpenter as one of the most complete and versatile artists of the Blues, Soul and Blues/Rock contemporary music scene." - Gio Pilato
"Soul Doctor is a celebration of great, perfectly executed rock and blues. It's a beacon of light on a mostly dark and dreary musical landscape. It will restore your faith in decent, honest music, played by dedicated, talented musicians. The Soul Doctor has got the cure for your musical maladies."
The Real Music Observer for Rock and Blues Reviews
"This is a great album to play if you're looking for an instant mood boost. It's hard to remain in a foul mood when you hear this collection of songs." - Gary Schwind, Americana Highways
