There Were Flowers Also in Hell

[1][2] The PopMatters review by Sean Murphy observed " it is a testament of Bajakian's love affair with his instrument.

This is not jazz, nor is it necessarily rock or blues; it's a reflection of the mind and soul of the man who made it, like all great art must be.

As such, it is also a reflection of the frenzied times we live in: the turmoil, apathy and information overload, yet it prevails as an antidote for the very urgencies it addresses.

[4] Premier Guitar stated "The record reveals Bajakian as a sardonic composer, a masterly improviser, and a purveyor of excellent tones who finds new wrinkles in one of the most traditional musical forms".

[5] The New York Music Daily review said, "It’s a feral, deliciously abrasive instrumental rock album, more informed by the blues than it is actually bluesy (although Bajakian is a strong and thoughtful blues player) ... Bajakian has made a lot of great music in recent years but this is some of his most interesting and adrenalizing – it’s one of the best instrumental rock records of recent years, hands down".
