"Doctor Nick’s name has long graced our listings pages and it’s good to finally have a CD available. Most recently, he & the Rollercoasters have been performing at the Rex Hotel on Sunday afternoons. Nick Ouroumov is the vocalist and harp player and his Rollercoasters, while not always a fixed unit, usually include Bob Vespaziani on drums, James Rasmussen on bass and Pete Schmidt on guitar. Julian Fauth guests on piano throughout. The program here is indeed BLUES…straight ahead – a solid selection of postwar electric blues, not many of them overdone and all very well played. Otis Spann’s “I’m In Love With You, Baby” starts things off, with Billy Boy Arnold’s “Wish You Would” giving the disc an early Yardbirds feel. “Westcoast Lowdown” is an excellent original harp instrumental - a slow blues with a debt to George “Harmonica” Smith that is acknowledged immediately afterwards by his “I Want A Woman”. Pete Schmidt is featured in a tribute to Pee Wee Crayton with a heartfelt “After Hours”. Other tributes are to Slim Harpo, Little Walter & Big Maceo. Get over to the Rex Hotel and get yourself a copy." ~John Valenteyn
