Chicago-born Denise La Grassa is the ticket. She has the pipes, but isn’t like any of the well-known high-octane female belters of the past. There’s a quirky, deep-throated, polished hell-bent tonality to Ms. La Grassa that stands out like lightning between dark clouds - John Apice, Americana Highways
A Crossroads Communion proves she is not merely preserving the blues, but revitalising it with imagination, authority, and soul-stirring originality for a new generation of listeners everywhere - Colin Campbell, Blues Matters! (UK)
This is not a religious themed CD, but Denise shows us that her brand of blues is a homage to the traditional, yet with a modern twist. It's the old, yet it's new, it's a message, it's on fire, yet it's cool, very cool. And most of all, it's real. Pick this one up - Peter "Bluewzzman" Lauro, Blue Monday Monthly
