Blake Thomas loves Coca-Cola.
"Madison's best country singer/songwriter."
John Mendels(s)ohn - The Isthmus
"While I don't know Blake's music, he sounds like a punk to me - an immature smartass."
An angry citizen, mother and teacher - The Isthmus
"Somber, weary, honky-tonk folk-rock that should suit lonely drinkers as well as anyone itchin' for an old-timey bar brawl."
The Onion
"A near-flawless balance of excellent musicianship, his gorgeous, occasionally shiver-inducing voice and smart songwriting."
Rick's Cafe
"Each tune is carefully crafted, focusing on the intricacies of intertwining instruments as well as the poetics of the lyrics... Thomas creates a sound I fall victim to every time. It takes only one note to recognize the voice and realize I need to hear more."
The Badger Herald
“Sung with resonant soulfulness, the evocatively melancholy title track [Flatlands] ought to become the Midwest's national anthem.”
John Medels(s)ohn - The Village Voice
“Better than the Packers”
