Erick Hovey is a fifth generation farmer from the heart of the US, Midwest. His central location allows him to absorb music from all over the country and develop a style that blends the best of what he likes. The result is music built on a sturdy foundation, with easy-to-identify-with subject matter and sharp arrangements. Erick and the band play with genuine heart and engaging personality, producing an unstrained delivery and easy grace that makes the material seem utterly uncontrived. At times smooth and wistful, at times rockin, but always-cloaked in cool, cool blues. This music offers enough stylistic variety to appeal to dyed-in-the-wool blues fans, three chord rockers, and even denizens of Bob's Country Bunker.

It is hard to believe that a farmer coming from middle west states, can have a so wide knowledge of black music. He skillfully mixes and develops his own blues style, full of rock and roll, country, swing and pop influences. The final result is an interesting cd, well done, with some drops of sensuality but, over all, built up with sober skill and personality. If you have some money to spend, do hot hesitate and buy it.

Recycled Souls which is on a whole of a robust nature. This CD I can play at a higher volume at home because my better half appreciates Erick's music greatly. It's unbelievable that this artist is still unknown in the Netherlands. He would not go amiss in many theaters. ~Jan van Eck / VanEckBlues / Netherlands

ERICK HOVEY has a good band and a nice lead guitar. Recycled Souls is a powerful album of original songs for those who like good old-fashioned rock without the posing. 'Ain't Done With You' should be a world-wide smash. ~R2 Magazine / UK
