What are they saying about his new release “LIKE I DO”:
“Tsak is some kind of roadhouse-flavored bluesy rock and country guy, with a tough little band around him that swings behind sharp guitar work, driving bass, keyboards that roll like the river, and sax that's lusty to the point of embarrassment.” Jim White, Pittsburgh Post Gazette
“AZ Kenny Tsak created a manifesto. I’ve been heavy into rock and roll for 55 years, but he created something that goes beyond anything I’ve heard.” Shelton Ivany, National News Bureau
“AZ Kenny Tsak may be a new name to most blues fans, but you would think that he’d been around for years from the sound of things on Like I Do.” “I hate to think we missed out on thirty years of this kind of music with Mr. Tsak, but I’m glad he’s with us now.” Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes July 2009
“White boy blues is tough enough to pull off in the first place but Tsak certainly has us wanting to hear more. By all means, check it out, you’ll be surprised what a winner this is.” Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“Classic Blues at Its Best! If there were a college course called “Blues 101” Kenny Tsak would most certainly get an A++. His debut album “Like I Do” is a classic showcase of classic blues guitar riffs and themes perfect for a night out with the gang or relaxing at home.” Joanne Mule, Western Pennsylvania Blues Society for Associated Content
“The Bret Michael of the Blues.” Jim Nestor, Bluzpik Records
“Tsakanikas writes and plays a lot like later Kim Simmonds in his post-Youlden Savoy Brown, turning to boogie and basics, wringing that neck like the masters of early days, observing tight signatures and designated structures.” Mark S. Tucker, Folk & Music Exchange
”My rule of never judging a book by its cover rang in my ears as l listened to an unbelievably good album. Track after track held me totally in its spell with Kenny's wonderful voice and playing. This is a seriously GOOD cd to say the least.” Peter Merrett, PBS, Australia
“Kenny sounds like macho blues-rock player with come-here-baby attitude and a lot of talent for writing catchy, soon-to-be-radio-hits songs.” Przemek Draheim, Blues.pl
“Kenny Tsak is a soulful guitarist who plays with a ton of passion, likening it to an extension of his soul. And, when his fans respond in kind, that is his ultimate reward. Good times are ready to roll when you put on a copy of “Like I Do!!” Sheryl and Donald Crow, Music City Blues, Nashville
