Blue Eyed Mystic

 

 

The Press

 

“His voice has the range and depth of Brian Wilson…an Americana magnetism that falls into a John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen vein. The contagious lyrics that flow from his pen quickly capture the listener.” – Larry Belanger, AMG All Music Guide

“A great album by an up-until-now unknown artist… Listen to Blue Eyed Mystic and judge for yourself. I can promise you won’t regret it.” – Brian A. Smith, The Phantom Tollbooth

“…wonderfully melodic album with great tunes and instrumentation…Hell of a debut, folks.” – Rodney Leighton, Jersey Beat

“Four Stars…a perfect demonstration of the way folk, country and blues came together…a classic American sound…” – John Sobel, THEGLOBALMUSE.COM

“Whichever song one chooses to explore on Blue Eyed Mystic, there is one thing that is certain: The song will be perfect in performance and recording quality. But the thing that will keep the listener coming back time and time again…is the comforting quality found in each song. It’s like slipping on those faded favorite jeans with road-worn boots and a cool summer breeze blowing through one’s hair, and thinking that it doesn’t get much better than strolling with that Blue Eyed Mystic.” – Larry Belanger, AMG All Music Guide
