Sunday Express newspaper - July 1993

“Contender for top album of the year. Robert Johnson meets Van Morrison at
Johnny Cash’s favourite bar. Rhythm Oil is mighty dirty music with steel
guitar and accordion... 
The dirtiest, loudest country blues album of all time!”
Nick Dalton - Sunday Express - 1993

"Rhythm Oil .....Rocking country in various styles from driving country blues to
Tex Mex to modern kick ass rockabilly. This fine album, originally released by a
small independent label in 1993 is the best album Joe Ely never released!"
Martin Whittle - Free Country - 1998

In December 1992, Johnny Cash, having spent time listening to Rhythm Oil,
wrote the liner notes for the CD booklet. What he wrote was poetry based 
on lyrics and images from the songs, followed by a statement of how he 
heard the music on the album, Rhythm Oil - The Sessions
