  • “[This] long-overdue debut album joyously recalls the heyday of jump blues via salacious rockers like ‘Meatloaf’ and ‘Shake Your Apple Tree.’ Ferguson’s young band, the Medicine Men, do a fine job of laying down exciting grooves behind the singer.” — Bill Dahl, Allmusic.com

    “H-Bomb Ferguson does not play the piano. He fights it. He punches the white keys and jabs the black ones. When he sings, he alternates between a deep growl and a high, hoarse howl. Ferguson’s style–wig and all–is captured on Wiggin’ Out. This album’s 15 tracks have a warm, LP-era sound with Ferguson’s vocals soaring over his four-piece band, the Medicine Men. His voice is feisty and quick like a bantam-weight prizefighter as it delivers love letters with the power of a left hook to the jaw.” — The Cincinnati Enquirer
