"In Lift off the Roof, poet and life-long harmonica player Steve Luxton becomes a dream-busker, serving up the warbling, wailing, heartbroken, squealing, swoop-cruising soul of his chosen instrument – a real tin sandwich treat. By turns conversational, reminiscent, elegiac, panegyrical, Luxton’s verbal mastery will blow your lid right off!" —Brian Campbell, author of Shimmer Report

"This collection is indeed a suitable companion to Kerouac's Mexico City Blues!" —Andrew MacDonald, composer and guitarist
