James Blood Ulmer: Guitarist Ulmer At Club Lingerie
Don Snowden, Los Angeles Times, 22 July 1982

Several Big Apple sensations have fallen flat in their local debuts, but Ulmer's impressive 75-minute set before a substantial, enthusiastic crowd at the Club Lingerie Tuesday night gave a good indication of what all the shouting is about.
