"Doin’ What It Takes is full of tremendous songwriting and performances. Lloyd may be Doin’ What It Takes, but believe me he doin’ it right. Outstanding. Destined to be yet another Northwest blues classic, and hopefully far beyond as well. Lloyd Jones is a much cherished treasure and it’s about time the rest of the world gave him those praises, too." — Cascade Blues Association
"I was turned on to this tasty disc back in January on Delbert McClinton‘s cruise by Delbert’s longtime sax player Don Wise, and have been patiently waiting for this one to come out. Now that I have my copy I can tell you that this is one of the freshest and unexpected surprises of the year for me, and it’s very funky too! — Bob Putignano, Blues Revue
"If blues with a funk edge is your thing, Doin' What it Takes will have you jukin' by the fourth measure of the opening tune, "Bend in The River."... The recording quality is impressive, as you would expect from a Reference Recordings' project." — AudiophileReview.com
