„I first heard him in a Revuebar in Vienna. He sang Bob Dylan songs, mostly the gruesome ballads about slavery, blood and thunder, with a dark, hoarse voice in which the spirits of Howlin’ Wolf and Blind Willie Johnson seemed to reside.“ – Maik Brüggemeyer, Rolling Stone Magazin
„He has a voice one likes to listen to: Raw, raucous, knowing. The voice of someone who has seen a lot in his life.“ – Hagen Haas, General-Anzeiger, Bonn
