This ol' boy has been there, done that. When I was cutting my teeth with Charlie Feathers, he was right there helping make the Memphis Rockabilly scene rock! He has made a great contribution to Memphis & Nashville Music. -Col. Robert Morris, Old Dog Records
Bobby Sowell is a true variety musician, crossing every genre. He has performed professionally for years
and his talent, experience and showmanship is apparent every time he is on stage. His music, Country, Rockabilly, Blues, Jazz, Gospel and Rock n Roll attracts fans young and old. -New Deal Music
The distinctive and evocative piano solos of Bobby Sowell are finally receiving the recognition they deserve. Too many pianists in any genre feel the need or are pressured by labels to add synth tracks to colorize their music, but when a pianist plays with this kind of passion, all of the colours of the rainbow are already there. Crossing just about all genre styles of music. From Jazz, Pop, Rock n Roll, Honky Tonk and Blues to Country, Gospel, Classical and Easy Listening. The new Moods CD is another fine example of Bobby's diversified music, and he just keeps getting better. An exceptional album from start to finish. -DeltaSun Publishing
