Produced by: Jack Wolworth & Geneva Red

"The gal has mastered the instrument from which she pulls originality and freshness. The Roadsters furnish her an adequate support and are prompt to show off her inventions on the harmonica."
- IL Blues Magazine Italy

Nice to hear a female harp player! Geneva Red and the Roadsters pull off a nice variety of blues numbers on Alley Ways. A great cover of Mose Allison's "Your Mind is on Vacation" is followed by a spooky, ethereal take on Dizzy Gillespie's "Birk's Works" - a great adaptation of the standard to fit Geneva's ample harmonica chops. Best cut: the self-penned "Red's Romp," an adrenaline-soaked stomper."
- Blues Revue Magazine

She has great tone on the harmonica and by listening to her play one can tell she has paid her dues. The harmonica is a humble instrument only mastered by a few and Geneva is one of that few."
- Billy Boy Arnold

"This woman is not content with improvisational cliches, our lady has breath to spare, and she leads you where she wants you, tonally and improvisationally speaking."
- Jean Claude Mondo - Radio Host, Belgium
