“I've just heard the best album of the year so far. It came totally out of left field for me. Robert Stanley is a local music legend from Waukegan, IL. He is an astute writer, incredibly proficient guitarist, and vocalist extraordinaire. Recorded in Atlanta, 'Roadman's Hammer' is some of the most melodic, smart 'Rockabluesic' (his term) music that has ever crossed this writer's ears. This is world class stuff. Every tune is well crafted, expertly played and sung with a passion that can only come from years of life experience. Hard driving, bluesy rockers and tender, meaningful love ballads permeate a record of unfailing quality from start to finish. Bluesman, rocker, tunesmith, guitar hero; all these terms describe Robert 'The Roadman' Stanley. Simply stated, this is an unforgettable record. Get your copy today. You'll be glad you did!”

— Shake! Magazine Fall 2008 issue: Nashville

“This is unquestionably the best music purchase I've made all year. What a musician! What an album! I don't know where to begin. It's not often an album comes along that I like all the way through. Most times I've got to give it a few spins and let it grow on me. This one sprouted thick, tangled roots and dug in deep immediately. His instrumental prowess is right up there with the biggest names in the business. The words he's written are sung with passion, power and finesse. His vocals are by turns as gritty and dark as coal smoke, powerful enough to drive a railroad spike and as beautiful and soothing as a far away train whistle. Robert's voice encompasses a full range of emotion and feeling that only comes from years of traveling life's tracks, taking note of thing's he's seen and experienced along the way. A good album is like a good book: it should paint a vivid picture in the mind of the listener, and for me it does exactly that. I can't wait for the next album.”

“This is really interesting stuff. You know if you use that kind of the term, a swampy, I don't know, swamp rock almost, very bluesy, swampy, ha! swamp rock, I don't know. You'll know when you hear it. I think you'll understand what I'm trying to get at. But this is really cool stuff…it's just really well done.”

— The Rock and Roll Report

“Roadman's Hammer is a combination of blues and rock, blended together into an awesome conglomeration of music that needs to be heard, and heard, and heard. You won't want to take it out of your CD player.”

— Rick Schiano, Tasting Victory

“Just like to say how much I enjoyed listening to your work. I know how difficult it can be to assimilate and blend together different styles of music, you make it sound effortless. Treasure that open mind.”

— Ken Pustelnik - The Groundhogs - drummer: Bristol, UK, Live Blues World
