He’s just got that feeling.” — Jimmy Rogers, late great guitarist “The wide-ranging critical acclaim for his last disc landed in blues publications on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and as far away as Japan and Australia with the general consensus echoing the idea that Moss could well be the future of blues. With Count Your Blessings, the votes shouldn’t sway a peg. Nick Moss & The Flip Tops still consist of harrowing guitar and booming vocals courtesy of Moss...” — Craig Ruskey	Official Site MySpace Page Facebook Page YouTube - Nick Moss at Buddy Guy's Legends YouTube - At the '07 Kalamazoo Blues Festival
