"Their newest CD captures much of that excitement and sense of discovery. Fittingly, "The Last Country Store" owes as much of its sound to the bright, rolling hills of Tennessee as it does the dark,flat fields of the Mississippi Delta. Much of the CD centers around bad love and moving on, mixing traditional blues themes with touches of gospel and country roots. And there are many highpoints. For fans of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, there are numerous guitar/harmonica duo numbers. For fans of updated blues and even Americana music, there are a handful of more orchestrated, band cuts somewhat in the vein of Chris Whitley or maybe even John Mellencamp. The Last Country Store" is more heartfelt and unvarnished than many of today's slicker, big studio releases. That's not to say that the production standards aren't high. They are. But the energy level and spontaneous feel of the album is certainly boosted by the "future primitive" approach that Jimbo Mathus' studio employs. In the end, the CD accurately portrays an up-and-coming blues duo worth watching. Check it out."

"Every Day I do my King Biscuit Time Show I hear, see and meet new faces in the blues field. I don't like to single any one person out, but in this case there's no way for me to skip one of the most up and coming guitar and harmonica players that will make you sit up and take notice. His name is Elam McKnight and featuring Great Britain's Mr. Keith Carter."
---"SUNSHINE" SONNY PAYNE - KING BISCUIT TIME RADIO HOST
"Catch Elam now before a big label signs him and smoothes him out too much!"
--Dave Drury, BLUES MATTERS, The most read blues magazine in Great Britain
The Last Country Store is a further exploration by Roots Blues artist Elam McKnight into that primal part of the soul where "deep blues" lives. Joined by his new musical partner, Keith Carter (UK), they lock up together like great acoustic Blues duos from the past (i.e. Sonny Terry/Brownie McGhee, Sleepy John Estes/Hammie Nixon). The album was recorded (in part) in an old mercantile store deep in the rural delta community of Eaton
