"With commanding but unflashy guitar and vocal virtuosity, Dot Levine plays pre-WW2 American folk music with the balance of respect and irreverence that it deserves. He's either making the tunes sizzle with an energy that would fill the dance floors at a nursing home, or he's ripping them to shreds in way would please the stray free jazz aficionado drinking juice in the corner of that home while v
isiting grandma. Or, more often, he's somewhere in the middle, playing with such verve that you can't imagine a better performance of "Salty Dog" or "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?" by the very people who wrote them." -Ben Remsen
"Dot's music reaches down, deep within the very core of me and pulls something out of me. Vomit." -Liam Kelly
"Blues for Happy People..." -Dave Madeloni
"(Dot Levine is) the return of handsome prince rambo." -Eliot Klein
"(Dot Levine is) Da bro with the dobro." -Suzanne Hoch
"This is a good start but I did a word search and couldn't find "sexy" or "fine as hell" anywhere in Dot's description." -Eli Shewell
"Dot plays good." -Michelle Kayserman
"...or she'll hurt you." -Stephen Horne
"Dot Levine's disarming breadth of musical integrity and exceptional humanity so enchant most (not all) of those who boogie within earshot, that they yearn only for their astonishing one-man show (when he's not supporting or leading a host of West Philadelphia's most beloved musical acts). Mayhem guitarist, poet, anarchist, raconteur, spazz, Levine sings folksongs like he's suffocating and picks their home-built guitars so violently as to earn the props of all who witness. their sense of humor is contagious, their bursts of laughter proverbial; and they spreads around him an aura of happiness... their fellow West Philadelphians recognize in the man and their musical stylings the extraordinary synthesis of the traditional and the avant-garde. Dot Levine is New Jersey's son and heir apparent. Praise their holy jams!" -Gwendolyn Rooker
"Haha! Thanks for the accolades, y'all!" -Dot Levine
