Recycled Souls maintains a high standard of musicianship in a singer/songwriter mode with the songs showing blues influences. The backing musicians don’t overplay and get it right for the style of each tune. Erick has a good almost “smoky” voice and is a very tasteful guitarist (think latter-day Eric Clapton for instance). A couple of the reviews in the promo blurb call Erick a hidden gem of the US Midwest and I can only concur. Richard Greaves / Blues In Britain Magazine ERICK HOVEY has a good band and a nice lead guitar. Recycled Souls is a powerful album of original songs for those who like good old-fashioned rock without the posing. ‘Ain’t Done With You’ should be a world-wide smash. R2 Magazine / UK Erick Hovey is a complete and exciting musician who at any time, knows what works and what to do….I warmly recommend that you do not miss the musical piece of work called Recycled Souls. Miaden Loncar, soundgaurdian.com, Croatia, 8-09 Erick Hovey’s roots oriented Recycled Souls is interesting because the CD is varied and Hovey’s guitar work possesses a pleasant spiciness. Pieter Wijnstekers / HEAVEN pop magazine for adults / The Netherlands Erick, I gotta tell ya, I listened to 'Souls' this morning & thought it was great. Liked every track. Hits our new rock shelf tomorrow, & I'll get to your blues cd next week. thanks again for sending it along.
