Blues Matters - U.K.
"...the listener could be forgiven for thinking they were listening to an early Blues singer, stomping heels, strong vocals and acoustic guitar."
................................................
St. Mary's College of Maryland  "He made me feel like I was sitting on my front porch in New Orleans eating alligator."
................................................
Blues Revue - "Murder of a Blues Singer opens with Austin "Walkin' Cane's unaccompanied voice booming like Son House's. The acoustic slide comes in after a few bars, turning "High Rent Lemon Girl, Aren't Ya?" into a deeply felt evocation of a blues master."
................................................
BluesWax - "A really great album is more than a collection of songs and Murder of a Blues Singer ends up being greater than the sum of its parts. When it's over, you feel like you've been somewhere."
................................................
West Virginia University Chronicle - “ an old time bluesman with a mastery of acoustic slide guitar”
................................................
Living Blues

"...gravelly moan & keening slide guitar".
"Austin "Walkin' Cane's" music should find favor with fans of other deep rooted modernists like Otis Taylor & Alvin Youngblood Hart".
.................................................
Jazz & Blues Report - “Hold On The Night” is an all-out dance floor
assault."
.................................................
UltimateGuitar.com - “sings in a way that would leave Joe Cocker jealous.
.................................................
Cleveland Magazine -  Austin "Walkin' Cane" proves the blues isn't so much about dealin' with the devil as it is working like hell to stay a few steps ahead of him."
.................................................
North Dakota State University

"If the people at the Union would book acts like you to play on our campus more often, I would get alot more involved with my university!"
