What People Are Saying about Erick
Hovey:
Midwestern alt-bluesman Erick Hovey’s music is raw, honest
and very fluid. This is some of the most unique blues that I
have heard in some time.
- Bob Rice / Crossroads on KYRS / Spokane, WA
Blues guitarist, very personal, who mixes rock and roots,
with strong influences by JJ Cale, Eric Clapton and Larry
Carlton: that is soul, style and technique. Erick Hovey’sNon
è al primo disco, ne ha già alcuni alle spalle, ma la sua
musica è, a suo modo, orginale, diretta e piacevole.
music is original, direct and pleasant.
- Caru / Gallarate, Italy
Erick Hovey’s songwriting abilities are
amazing to say the least and the delivery is fresh and
compares to no other. It was like finding that "rare blues
pearl" in a sea of sound alike blues songs. This music is
the injection the blues needs.
Absolutely a grasp on what the blues is all about.
