"Billy Gibson is a certified genius."
Bill Ellis, The Commercial Appeal / Memphis, TN

I had heard him on his own records and knew he had a great feel for traditional blues, real command of the harmonica and a big, fat tone. In the studio, his playing fit the tunes perfectly and he was a total professional. Michael Burks got a huge kick out of his playing, and I'd be glad to have Billy play on Alligator sessions in the future. He's a terrific musician.
Bruce Iglauer, co-producer of "I Smell Smoke," who selected Gibson for the session

“Enthusiastic, conscientious, and enormously talented, Billy Gibson is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. He makes my job easy.”
Rollin Riggs, Resource Entertainment Group Memphis

“… It’s refreshing to hear an artist who is technically accomplished, tasteful, and willing to explore the crossroads where blues and jazz meet. Harp fans will find Gibson to be a formidable player well worth studying.”
Tom Townsley, In A Memphis Tone review, Blues Revue, June/July 2004
