“Hard Pill to Swallow is the proper prescription for all blues fans suffering from blues scene lethargy. Bill Lupkin’s all-original, 14-track, no-filler harmonica blues, derived directly from the source, simmered and steeped for more than forty years, is good for all that ails you and is guaranteed to make you feel all right, all night. And baby, tomorrow you may just have to have a little more. ” –Justin O’Brien

“In the Chicago blues harp club, Bill Lupkin has the chops, the tone, the attitude and the dues paid in full for ‘Real Deal’ status. Enjoy this all-original program and stellar ensemble work, and be glad the music’s past is still its present and future, and in good hands!” –Dick Shurman

“Throughout the disc, Lupkin proves that the years he spent running his business have not diminished his ability to play the harp, as demonstrates his prowess on the slow blues of “Where You Goin.” As well as contributed solid harp playing to the disc, Lupkin also has a voice well suited for the material he covers. ” –MN Blues.com
