"Friday night roared to life with the Son Henry Band at the wheel " |
Blues in Britain Magazine |
"What really lingered though was a great version of Sam Cooke's "A change is gonna come" where the rhythm section dropped down a gear to allow more space for the sounds Son coaxed out of his lap steel. His version put me in mind of guitar players usually associated with the British folk tradition, Martin Carthy or John Renborn, say. Bringing it back home, indeed. Go see them, they'll get your motor runnin'" |

"Blistering Slide guitar with a great, distorted tone" |
Blues in Britain Magazine |
"Big, bold electric and slide guitar playing, some rustic harmonica and,
of course, the lap steel playing that is quickly defining the man as a
force to be reckoned with. Son's vocal style is earthy and relaxed, the perfect vehicle to deliver
his tales of love won and lost" |
Lisa Monroe, Southwest Blues Magazine |
"One of the hidden gems of British Blues" |
BluesMatters! Magazine |
"Son Henry plays with an acute feel for the rhythms and anger of the delta, in turns subtle and ferocious, hollering and stomping to the eerie call of the bottleneck"

"Friday nights show peaked when Son Henry took the stage" |

"Talent, stage presence and authenticity" |

"That boy sure can play the guitar, sure can" |
Blues Legend Robert Ealey |
"As with the very best of all blues, his songs deal with everyday
life, love and relationships. Damn this man for writing 'Second Glance'.
Its desperation and resignation hit me so hard every time I hear it that
funny watery stuff comes to my eyes. It scares me when someone details
the longings of my soul before I've even defined them myself. Son is good
at that- VERY good" |
Southwest Blues Magazine |
"As if an unnatural union between Howlin' Wolf and Creedence miraculously gave birth to the band." |
René Malines |
