“Oh boy, is this blues and roots music of the highest distinction! Field’s harmonica forays are tasty and substantial, yet never frenzied, and his singing is full and assured. The Perfect Gentlemen are indeed an all-star collaborative assemblage, and each, I mean each, participant is extremely gifted in their expertise. Having ten originals of this quality is so refreshing in this day and age, and the engineering and production is top-tier. Hopefully this release opens the door to a great awareness of Field and his blues co-conspirators. Great work!”—Curt’s Blues

“Are these Gentlemen Perfect or what? Certainly seems so. Don’t Need But One, the debut of Kim Field and the Perfect Gentlemen, has ten original tunes. Between blues, funky R&B, soul-ballads, and instrumental jazz grooves, the twin-guitar sound of harmonica-player/singer/songwriter/author Field’s Pacific Northwest quintet carries the day with style and flair.”—The Aquarian

 “When I spotted this album, I thought ‘Let’s give this a spin and see what happens.’ What happened is that I gained a brand-new favorite for my personal playlist. The Perfect Gentlemen are a powerhouse lineup.”—Sound Waves magazine

 “‘Don’t Need But One’ is a remarkable album that masterfully blends energetic and soulful tracks, showcasing the band’s impressive versatility. Much like a road trip on Route 66, this album takes listeners on a captivating journey from Chicago to Hollywood, filled with memorable sights and sounds to enjoy along the way.”—Mike Penk, Cascade Blues Society

 “This is the debut outing for this all-star roots n blues group from the Northwest. ‘Don’t Need But One’ is long on confidence with a band that has hit the ground running. Kim Field is a wicked harmonica player and fine blues singer. The group also includes Vyasa Dodson (Curtis Salgado) and Whit Draper on guitars, bassist Denny Bixby (Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Buddy Miller, Chet Atkins) and drummer Jimi Bott (The Fabulous Thunder birds, Rod Piazza). That’s a lot of talent to squeeze into one band. This is a suave kind of hardcore blues that combines R&B rave-ups and soulful ballads with genuine blues for a particularly unique yet familiar feeling musical testimony. The band never muddies a song with gratuitous showboating as they plow through these workingman’s blues with spirit and purpose. These are blues you’ll enjoy having.”—The Rock Doctors

“'Don't Need But One' is a remarkable album that masterfully combines energetic and soulful songs with a bluesy vibe.”—Philip Verhaege, Key and Chords magazine, Belgium

“Kim Field is a fine singer, songwriter, and band-leader, as this release also demonstrates. His vocals are generally cool – lend an ear to the groovy, early soul sound of the title track. His songs are memorable, and mostly squarely in the blues tradition and each with its own individual touch. As for his band – it’s described as an all star outfit because that’s what it is. Everyone involved impresses mightily. Harp lovers especially will enjoy Kim’s controlled playing, but overall this set is a rather fine, varied and extremely classy modern blues set, sure to appeal to blues fans in general.”—Norman Darwen, BITSA (Blues in the South) magazine (UK)

 “With ‘Please Don't Ask Me', Kim Field shows that he is a very gifted harmonica player. The way that his two guitarists, Whit Draper and Vyasa Dodson, perfectly feel each other out and don't want to dominate one another is always a plus for a band. This album offers an immersive experience for fans of blues, soul, and roots music. Along with his talented band members, Kim brings a powerful and authentic sound that honors the rich tradition of American blues music. The compositions on the album vary from up-tempo songs that invite dancing to slower, more emotional tracks. The production is clear and well-balanced, allowing each instrument to find its place in the mix. Field's harmonica shines without overshadowing the other instruments. The arrangements are thoughtful, allowing for both individual virtuosity and collective synergy.”—Concert Monkey, Belgium

“Kim Field and the Perfect Gentlemen can boast of having played all over the world with the greatest blues musicians. On this, their first album, the band has taken particular care to produce a diverse set of music with a good dose of its blues roots but also with sound colors from jazz, R&B and, of course, soul, with some particularly well thought out ballads and a particularly interesting sense of groove. A brass section or an organ are invited on occasion to take some cuts to a higher level. This album is exactly what we could expect from such a line-up. Already in the bins!”—Zicazine, France

 “’Don’t Need But One’ is a remarkable album with eleven songs, ten of them original compositions, that demonstrate the quality that Kim and his band treasure, as well as the variety of styles they can dewliver with amazing reliability. From West Coast blues to bright rhythm & blues, ballads or instrumentals with a jazzy taste, all these tunes are delivered with elegance, good taste and impressive instrumental technique. A very interesting record!”—La Hora Del Blues, Spain

 “Everything has already been said about how style makes the difference in music. Many strive to achieve it, and some succeed. Take, for example, a band that starts off well with an appropriate name: Kim Field and the Perfect Gentlemen, who have released their first album, ‘Don’t Need But One.’ It’s an excellent record on which all the tunes flow seamlessly.’—The Alias, Italy
