Here's what the critics have to say about Bugs Henderson and the Shuffle Kings.
"Bugs Henderson should be declared a national treasure."
   -Guitar Player Magazine-

"The world's greatest unknown guitar player. He can flat out blow most pickers away. Bugs will fry the skin off your butt with his monster chops and fatback tone."
   -Guitar One-

"The best kept secret in Texas, a pastel of original blues and rock."
   -Dave Rubin, "Rockin' the Blues"-

"Henderson's guitar and his distinctive voice belong to the best the scene has to offer today."
   -Concerto (Austria)

"The prototype of the brutal Texan guitarist who takes no prisoners."
   -Blues News (Germany)

"Some of the most exciting rock & roll of the era, driven by searing solos that sound like Henderson cutting his way out of a monstrous tangle of guitar strings."
   -Texas Music Magazine-
"Henderson certainly has his voice, both in his songwriting and his guitar playing, an amalgam of roots rock and Texas blues."
   -Blues Review Magazine-

"Some of the nastiest guitar solos ever recorded. He doesn't worry about what's going to please anyone else anymore."
   -Dallas Morning News-

"I'm not aware of anyone else who records with as much diversity. One hell of a guitar player."
   -Electric Blues-

"The heir apparent to Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan. He can go for hours without dropping one cliche' riff or even repeating himself. It can be a humbling experience."
   -San Diego Reader-


and Bugs' personal favorite:
"Struggling to reach basic musical competence."
   -Living Blues-
