“Salt in My Coffee sounds very "British Invasion-ish". Like it. ~Scott Carr”

— Scott Carr , WMGK 102.9fm

“Larry, hope the river’s flowin’ smooth thru your world, nice work on the new platter! ~Michael Tearson dj”

“Saklad_has_a_different_tune >Larry Saklad can look back on a pretty decent music career. He's working to revive it, but it's a new era with new challenges for artists trying to be heard. In fact, the singer-songwriter, who plays guitar and piano, has been coming back for the past few years, composing, recording and getting himself in front of Philly area audiences. In mid-Sept, he released a new CD, the 11-cut Saklad, which incl Oh Phila & a few songs Saklad wrote with Kim De Meo. He describes his music as folk rock, sometimes funky folk ...played with many incl local legends Robert Hazard, Alan Mann and NE Philly native Essra Mohawk...[more]”

“LARRY SAKLAD is from Philly, his CD is SAKLAD, has 11 cuts on it, [self produced, but 1st song] by Wayne Hsu. The songs have a bounce to them. His voice does stand out on it’s own and he makes all the songs he's written his ...The songs are simple and nice. WHY THIS FULL MOON takes you on a journey... MANNS-IN-Me is definitely different w/ a feel of Henry Gross. Great intro to “LULL’BYE” a slow, mellow song... Check out SAKLAD whenever you have a chance, you’ll definitely find him different, which could be a good thing. Thanks Larry, enjoy all! ~Jimmy Allford”

— Jimmy Allford, Pa Music Scene

“SAKLAD _ Larry Saklad's second solo effort, the self titled Saklad, is the successful culmination of years of honing his craft. Having started on the classical piano at age 6 (he performed at Carnegie Hall when he was 10) Larry has gone from jam bands to his own calming style on full display with this release. His skill as a story teller shines throughout the album. Whimsical at points, the album keeps you through waves of rhythm and poignant messages that manage not to be preachy, something not many artists can accomplish. Well worth the experience as soon as you can.”

— Jason Sendaula, Origivation Magazine
