The spirited music on Revue: The Best of Paul Reddick is constantly unpredictable in its range. Reddick is basically a blues singer and a fine harmonica player, but his music does not restrict itself to the blues. Various selections fall more into rock, pop, soul, and even hints of New Orleans jazz, while mostly being somewhat uncategorizable. Drawn from several previous releases, this program features Reddick with either the Sidemen (a quartet) or the Rhythm and Truth Brass Band (a medium-sized group). Most memorable are "I'm a Criminal," "Am I Right or Wrong," "'Round This Time of Year," and "You Know It Ain't Right." Paul Reddick manages to look back to the past while creating new music, and the results are consistently intriguing and enjoyable. /Scott Yanow, AllMusic

Paul Reddick and company dig into the pre-World War II rural blues repertoire. They come up with Delta gems for their tough, electric blues sound. They use studio effects and unexpected equipment to achieve raw, analog visitations of the past blues masters on almost every track. Colin Linden produced and adds signature guitar to this exquisite example of visceral urban blues with clear juke joint roots featuring Reddick's harmonica. /Tom Schulte, AllMusic

With guest appearances by Paul Reddick, Chuck Jackson, Cheryl Lescom, John Finley, Joun Dickie and Lance Anderson.

After more then a decade as a mainstay of the Niagara Region’s live music scene, The Mighty Duck Blues Band has released the long awaited debut recording, Duck Soup. The band built its reputation presenting popular Saturday afternoon blues matinee’s in St. Catharines, Ontario, a musical journey that began at The Golden Pheasant(a.k.a The Duck) , moving to a new home base, The Bar Upstairs in 2016.

Known primarily as a versatile back up band that can pull a great show together on the fly, their forte has been to build every performance around a guest artist, the best blues singers and musician’s Canada has to offer. That approach spilled over into the studio sessions with great success. MDBB members, Dave Curry guitar, Canada Dave Torosian keyboards, Jim Casson drums and Gary Kendall bass were joined on Duck Soup by vocalists Cheryl Lescom, Chuck Jackson (Downchild), John Dickie (Sisters Euclid, Cameo Blues Band), John Finley (Rhinoceros, Checkmates) and Juno Award winner Paul Reddick with Lance Anderson (The Last Waltz) adding piano on four tracks. Casson, Curry and Kendall contributed to the song writing and song choices.

Now celebrating their tenth anniversary with the release of Duck Soup, The Mighty Duck Blues Band has earned a strong position in the Niagara Region’s music history and a positive look towards the future by bringing their music to the rest of Canada and the world.

Effectively honoring an amazing song from an amazing performer requires that you kick against the grass marking the steps of the master. Cash's country music re-oriented toward its blues element gives kickers a general direction for a collection hitting more shin than soupçon. Paul Reddick's "Train of Love" whirs into life on its master tape capstan and jumps track 13 seconds in a show of off-roading; "I have wondered," he ponders in the liner notes, "how things might have been if Johnny had hired Mississippi Fred McDowell (Luther Perkins is chopped liver?) as the guitar player for the Tennessee Three." Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown joins forces with Benjy Davis to swing out "Get Rhythm," taking turns sounding agreeably road-wearied. Chris Thomas King tunes his 12-string guitar "down to B flat standard, which is the way Leadbelly played it," and recasts "Rock Island Line" as a talking blues, which it almost was anyway, then skates away on the train engineer's cheer at cheating the toll (though no one ever asks whether the burned toll man's waiting for him on the return trip). Faced with doing over a perfect song with a perfect arrangement, Garland Jeffreys brilliantly deduces that a little more makes a lot more, and filigrees "I Walk the Line" in accordion and a more pronounced "boom-chicka-boom." Harry Manx's "Long Black Veil" shimmers under his predictable but effective slide guitar and surprising touches of Indian instrumentation, plus desperate gospel-fueled backing vocals, stripping finality from tone, turning the song over into an unsolved mystery. OK, Alvin Youngblood Hart doesn't sound like he knows what he's doing on "Sunday Morning Coming Down"; he asks "Well, who hasn't been there?" in the notes, and the problem is he sounds like almost everybody else who's been there. But then along comes Sleepy LaBeef, sounding like his voice went down one half-step for each of his 68 years, singing "Frankie's Man Johnny" like no one ever told him it wasn't his. Don't settle for walking if you can swoosh. ~Andrew Hamlin

A Canadian blues musician who got his start playing the harmonica at the age of 12, Paul Reddick would eventually form the band the Sidemen in 1990 and become a mainstay of the Canadian blues scene. With the Sidemen, Reddick released a handful -- three -- of full-length albums, and toured for the majority of the decade. The critically acclaimed album Rattlebag was released in 2001, and from that year Reddick's career took a decidedly plaudit- and award-filled turn. In 2002 the band won a three Maple Blues Awards, and spent the next two years bringing its sound to a wider audience in the United States. In 2004, Reddick and collaborator Colin Linden released the acclaimed Villanelle. Reddick was back in the spotlight in 2008, as he was nominated in the blues category in that year's Juno Awards. ~Chris True
