“‘Deadliest Thing’ took me off guard. Its bright guitars, high vocal melodies and subtle bass lines crept up on me and before I knew it I had fallen in love. And which musical magician might be responsible for this ever-so-tricky track? Of course, it’s Joshua Ketchmark. The country blues bleeds into the modern era and there is no stopping its slow ascent to greatness. At the very edge of it all, leading on the masses, is Ketchmark and his trademark tone. It’s a silken feeling that shoots from ‘Deadliest Thing,’ smooth like honey. It goes down easy and that’s the magic because once it’s in your bloodstream and you’re living it, the lyrics react with your heart. All at once the emotional weight of the world falls on you, your very soul aches. It’s what blues does best, and very few do it like Joshua Ketchmark.”  TJPL News
