After teaming up with radio promoter Bryon Tosoff of Voodoohead Productions, SUN climbed to #24 on the Canadian Roots Music Charts in November 2011.
“Mud Dog, once again, has continued to impress me with their amazing talent of bringing great sounding Blues to the forefront. With "Sun", they have once again managed to release an exceptional album of Blues, surely destined to be another one of this years more acclaimed Blues releases. "Sun" gets my highest rating of 5*****, with no problem at all. Highly Recommended and Thoroughly Enjoyed... Review by John Vermilyea (Blues Underground Network)”
