"Cohen has been making music for over 60 years. Seems Like A Good Time For The Blues shows that he still have plenty of creativity and musicianship to share with fans!"

– Jon Kleinman / Living Blues

 

"Cohen has always been a classy, adept blues stylist and here, accompanied by a tight guitar-gass-drums battery, he turns in a respectable set of 9 original compositions and a welcome remake of the Country Joe classic, 'Flying High.' Cohen's been making music for most of his 81 years, and from the sound of things, he's still got a bunch of good stuff he needs to get out."

– Jeff Tamarkin / Relix

"Cohen has a lot to say as one of the very few piano-playing blues sages active today."

– Frank John Hadley / Downbeat

​

"Never pretentious or ostentations, David Bennett Cohen delivers good, solid, witty songs.  He's long past having to prove anything. Instead, he's all about having some fun.  He's long earned that right!"

– Jim Hynes / Making A Scene

​

"Cohen, an authentic master of blues, boogie-woogie and New Orleans R&B piano, and his simpatico friends extract maximum fun or drama from six strong, delightful original songs. The main man also sings with full-of-feeling personality. Give Bittersweet a listen!” 

– Frank John Hadley / Longtime Downbeat Critic

 

“Bittersweet marks (Cohen’s) first solo outing since three earlier albums released in the first years of the millennium.  It provides a welcome return.  Bittersweet is at its best when Cohen takes full advance of the small army of musicians he has at his employ.  That, then, is all the more reason to applaud Cohen for providing such  well-rounded effort.  Leet’s hope he has more in store soon!”

– Lee Zimmerman / Living Blues

 

“(Cohen) serves up fine acoustic piano on blues, ragtime and Professor Longhair New Orleans grooves!” 

– Dan Forte / Vintage Guitar

 

“The Good News is that David Bennett Cohen is still here, and hasn’t dropped a note in how he can capture life from all angles on just 88 keys!”

– Bill Bentley / Americana Highways
