“ Eric Hisaw's songs are little vignettes from life on the road, stories written in the moments when emotions are acute, and he marries them to tunes which lodge quickly in the brain”

— John Davy, Flyinshoes Review UK

"Many people including millionaire rockstars, write and sing about working class life, but Hisaw has and edge on all of them, authenticity...this is powerful stuff." - John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music

— John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music

"Eric Hisaw's songwriting is uncorrupted and bulletproof. He's a check you can cash at the bank of cool." - Ray Wylie Hubbard

— Ray Wylie Hubbard, Artist quote

"with the 10 just-about-perfect tales of hard-traveled and weary-hearted workingman blues... the journeyman songwriter, guitarist and singer delivers his first stone-cold masterpiece".

— Richard Skanse, Lonestar Music

“Roots rocking Americana singer / songwriter Eric Hisaw is exceptional since his debut album "Thing About Trains" (2000) among my favorites. With "Ghost Stories", this sympathetic outlaw Texas (originally from Las Cruces, NM) on his fifth full length album that has now been clean a top 10 hit in the Euro Americana Charts misappropriated. Hisaw camp programs including works in the good company of John Hiatt, Gilian Welch, Dave Alvin, Eileen Jewell and Grayson Capps and let one thing immediately clear: go! Once again he delivers with... Chuck Berry style rocker Johnston County, California Girl, Lonely Road and Don't Live there Anymore may indeed fully expect Hisaw's unique telecaster...sound feast...Can we speak here of an enjoyable masterpiece...sure! ”

— Francois Braeken, Beale Street

“Las Cruces-raised, Austin-based singer, songwriter and guitar slinger Eric Hisaw is the kind of guy who likely doesn't fear ghosts, but it's a safe bet he respects them. The spirits Hisaw conjures on his new “Ghost Stories” CD range from family members to the brokenhearted, all of whom Hisaw treats with compassion and understanding. Hisaw's protagonists travel some hard roads, but few wander aimlessly, none lacks grit and determination, and all move along powered by Hisaw's Telecaster and soulful, lived-in voice, Ron Flynt's bass and keyboards and Vicente Rodriguez's drums, plus, on some tracks, Lloyd Maines' steel guitar and Chrissy Flatt's backing vocals. That means on songs such as “Don't Live There Anymore,” “Lonely Road” and “Albuquerque,” even the lonely are in good hands. Hisaw and his band will celebrate the release of “Ghost Stories” Saturday at Saluté. The Infidels will close out the night. ”

— Jim Beal Jr., San Antonio Express News "City Lights"

"Once you've dug a little deeper what emerges is a truly great songwriter...."Nature of the Blues" is hewn from the honest soul of a true musician"

— Maverick Magazine UK

“19 in The Euro Americana Chart with the roots broadcasters for November 2008”

— Euro Americana Chart

“ "This is a very strong cd from beginning to end, and it proves Eric can easily join the "big" guys from now on. His name is mentioned already for one of the big summer festivals here.... so, let's keep our fingers crossed!" ”

— Freddy Celis, Roots Time Belgium

“Eric Hisaw's "Nature Of The Blues" is an outstanding cd that will find place in my radio show and will stay a long time!”

— Remo Ricaldone,, 'Happy Trails' radio show - Susa Onda Radio, Italy

“New Mexico born and Austin based Eric Hisaw is the whole package; singer songwriter, guitar slinger, session musician and producer.”

— Kerry Hock, Stars of Texas

“there's beauty in Hisaw's desolate lyrics, weary vocals and tastefully restrained fretwork”

— Richard Skanse, Texas Music Magazine

“his combination of literacy and grit ... it's the source of Hisaw's strength, when it comes to writing about working class life, he's not your usual overprivileged middle class songwriter striving for downward mobility, he's the real thing..think of him as the anti-James Taylor.”

— John Conquest, Third Coast Music

“Bluecollar barroom country rock with a dark heart”

— Jeremy Searle, Americana UK

“Eric Hisaw’s songwriting is uncorrupted and bulletproof. He's a check you can cash at the bank of cool.”

— Ray Wylie Hubbard

“On his latest release, Nature of The Blues, Eric Hisaw oozes a world-worn blues-rock vibe with direct, authentic, Joe Sixpack lyrics in the same vein as Todd Snider and Hayes Carl.”

— Calvin Powers, Taprootradio.com

“Eric Hisaw rather masterfully combines the best elements of roots music, blues and Austin folk in his new record Nature Of The Blues.”

— Craig Bonnell, Songs:Illinois Blog
