"...Simply put, "BIG SKA" is one of the finest traditional jazz-ska albums of recent years, rivaling the almighty SKATALITES themselves!"- Jump Up Records

"Ska Ska Ska... and some Reggae and Nyabinghi too. This is probably the best Shantytown release I've heard to date… This is quality Ska! Pick up a copy today."  -Lion of Zion

"If you take a look at Joe Ferry's history you will find that he has accomplished a lot in his musical career. One of Ferry's most notable involvements in Ska is producing the Skatalites albums 'Hi-Bop Ska' (Grammy Nominee) and 'Greetings From Skamania' (Grammy Nominee). Joe is back with his second solo release and it is very solid at that…!!! Great solos…!!!" -Southern Ska Review

"Joe Ferry, who has produced for the legendary Skatalites (as well as other notable performers), has given us a real treat here with ten nicely varied tracks lovingly recorded for the true ska connoisseur. Joe and the crew have a wonderful chemistry. The album contains many highlights including a couple of Tommy McCook compositions ('Ska Boss' and 'Swing Easy'), the Abyssinians roots anthem 'Satta Masa Gana,' and more." -CDBaby

"Skallelujah" (N-Soul/Eclectica Records) Joe Ferry's critically acclaimed debut solo album on N-Soul Records

"...Ska may have just been taken to its most holy spiritual zenith on Joe Ferry's new release, 'Skallelujah'".  -REGGAE RUNNINS

"...'Skallelujah' is a testament to music in its purest form: an invigorating tonic for the soul. And you can dance to it, too..."  -SCOPE

"... A masterful blend of styles. "Skallelujah" is an all-out trip".  -FMQ
