This is what people have said about him:
“One wouldn’t immediately think of Estonia as a blues hotbed, but cast those narrow-minded notions aside and listen to Andres Roots (yep, it’s his real surname too). This is a man who can play the blues.”
– Samuel J. Fell, Rhythms Magazine, Australia
“Andres is a master of this kind of music… One of the best instrumental blues players around.”
– Norman Darwen, Blues in Britain, UK
“A major league slide guitarist, songwriter and bandleader… He is quite the impressive guitar wizard.”
– Steve Jones, Blues Blast Magazine, USA
“An extraordinary artist.”
– Robert Lenert, Twoj Blues, Poland
“Roots is not a relic stuck in a particular blues genre but an innovative musician genuinely looking for something new… Folksy blues-based art music topped with country and western? Great stuff in any case.”
– Mika Kähkönen, Rajatapauksia, Finland
