"Hi
Vincent, "The story of the Project is great & I really enjoyed
"I've Got A Right To Change My Mind", the 1st track
I played. You will definitely work your way into the Living Blues
Top 25 in June & after that."
-Roy Prescott, Blues Summit, WMWV,
95.3 North Conway, New Hampshire
“This is the first material that I have heard from this band and it is an impressive collection…All the tracks are written by Vince himself and there are some strong songs here…The sound quality on the CD is excellent and the playing consistently good. The rhythm section is immaculate throughout " -John Mitchell, Blues Blast Magazine
"Hey
Vince, "Finally, a complete blues work of the 21st century that is worthy of the genre. From the smooth tones, subtle harmonies, classical blues riffs and nuanced nouveau flavors crossing the entire blues spectrum, this is a must own CD for the serious blues lover. I bought it, put it in my car, and was 20 minutes late for an appointment as I sat until it was done. The Vincent Hayes Project pushed the envelope on this one, and it will rise to the top quickly. Thanks, guys...for the biggest musical treat I have encountered in years!" -David Beighley, Fan on CDbaby.com "I have heard Vincent Hayes by himself and with the Project and have always enjoyed their sound. This new CD, Reclamation, is outstanding. The addition of the keyboard was a great move and adds a good sound to an already great band. Buy this CD and you will not be sorry you did. It’s been the only sound coming from my iPod since I got a week ago and is one of a very few CD's I own that I really like every track on it." -Daniel Poel, Fan on CDbaby.com A Simply Amazing Blues Album ***** "A must need for every blues collection, the songs groove and the album flows! “Hit me High, Hit me Low”, “Middle Man”, “Thank You Baby” and Halfway Out The Door” are all instant favorites of mine. The playing from all the musicians is inspiring and flawless. I truly consider this album a best buy!" -by CTAdam-iTunes is band at an upcoming show, and buy it directly from the makers of this high quality album." -Chris Kishman, Big House Blues Band -Terry O, "Top Blues Radio" on Live 365 "Congratulations on the release of your new CD “Reclamation” and on your wonderful performance here at the Dogwood Center! You had us totally captivated with your great stage presence and original tunes…it was an unforgettable blues experience. And, you generated enough electricity to light up this whole town! We’ve had tremendously positive feedback from the audience and the only question is, “when will they be back?”Every song on the new CD is worth listening to again and again!" Thank you. Positively, Diane Yonker, Program Manager, Dogwood Center for the Performing Arts “I bought this album just over a month ago and it hasn't been off my playist since. It is absolutely fantastic stuff with no tracks being filler or a throwaway. I have being listening to blues now for 30 years and have many albums by the classic blues kings such as BB King, Muddy, Freddy King,Albert King etc and more contemporary artists like Robert Cray, Joe LouisWalker, Magic Slim etc. This album stands alongside the work of these contemporary guys, its riveting stuff and stands for repeated plays. The guitar work is great with a very tight rhythm section. I really like this band and cant wait till they come to the UK so I can get a chance to see them. Hats off to one of the best blues albums of 2010.” Bob Dunsby, CDbaby Fan
