“The (2010 Best of) country category is a good ol?boy split between Jamey Johnson’s The Guitar Song and Watermelon Slim’s Ringers.?/b> ?Paste Magazine

“But his marble mouthed, Dr. John style southern drawl is as well suited to country music as it is to the blues, plus there is still some bluesy slide guitar spread throughout...overall, this CD ends up being such an addictive listen, you can’t stop hitting the replay button.?/b> ?L.A. Beat

"...old-fashion honky tonk country, not Nashville product...The pickers on Ringers may be Nashville session heavies, but like Slim, they play outside the box on this outing." - All Music Guide

From top to bottom, this is a fine country album, and Slim's blues roots serve him well throughout. His Background lends new weight and validity to these country tracks, a feat not often seen in the industry. ?Cashbox Magazine

?..pedal-steel guitar, mandolin, and banjo painting a colorful mix that's light years behind, above, or beyond contemporary, whatever-it-takes-to-hit-big Country. Matter of fact, some of this stuff could be kin to work by Kris Kristofferson.?/b> ?Blurt Online

“Of course, this isn't slicked-up Music Row fare. It would be pretty difficult to smooth the rough edges off Slim?(he) invests his country with the same gritty, true-to-life character and singular voice he brings to the blues.?/b> ?Philadelphia Inquirer

?..Slim’s croaky tones suit this honky tonkin?at least as well as they do the blues ?you don’t doubt for a second the love, lust, heartache or the loneliness about which Slim happens to be singing at any point. And his slide guitar rocks!?/b> ?Rhythms Magazine (Australia)

“Slim is a man for our times, clearly.?/b> ?The Irish Times
