Warren Haynes comments, “Lee Boys are high energy Gospel infused jamming. This is the real thing!”
"Lee Boys may be the most energetic and expansive of the groups in the genre. They will undoubtedly move you—it’s impossible to sit still." Elmore Magazine
"Live on the East Coast will appeal to sacred steel fans, naturally, but it also stands to gain a following among those who love a good jam band. The album more than blurs the line between the sacred and the secular—it erases it altogether." Journal Of Gospel Music
"Recommended without hesitation" Blues 21
