"Once in a while...DIY rookies will use their record releasing opportunity to astound and amaze us. Eric Folkerth is one of these....The song writing on this record is just amazing...Eric has proven with this CD that he's not just another coffeehouse guitar strummer. He is a legitimate singer/songwriter that is waiting to be discovered, and I hope it won't be long until he is."

 

The GlobalMuse.com, November, 2000

Eric has an excellent voice that surrounds his music. The lyrics are very intelligent and contain the ingredients of beauty and truth that is a quality of only the best singer/songwriters. This music is very inspirational and extremely infectious....Simply put, this is a great album.

 

MusicStew.com, September 2000

"Eric's CD is an exciting combination of freshness, brilliant imagery, catchy melodies and wisdom. The songs range from poignant to joyful, serious to silly but never lose the wonder and enthusiasm of a first kiss."

 

Radio Valhalla, January 2001

"Eric is a man with a clue. And the clue is about how to write damn good songs. "I Will Sing" captures the spirit of music and just plain makes you feel good...This song could put the makers of Prozac out of business."

Gloria Dei Nights Coffee Haus Review, August 2003

(Review in the Dallas Folk Music Society Newsletter.)

"The storyline in (Eric's) songs are spellbinding and his instrumentation brings melodic support to his lyrics. He has a love for an island beat which was complimented well by the bongos of Rick O'Connor. The show was enjoyable in all respects, but the musical essence really shown forth on the numbers in which harmonies were beautifully sung by Bruce Hathaway and Rick O'Connor. In a word, the show was very tasty and all present were well entertained."

 

The Junction at Plano Station, February 2003

"One of our region's finest and "hottest" upcoming songwriters, Eric writes and performs in a contemporary folk style and accompanies his clear vocals with outstanding guitar playing. His songs are constructed of realism and intelligence, his performances are captivating!"

 

Trinity Coffeehouse, Fort Worth, February 2002

"He has a gentleness built on strength, and a musical ability that springs from deep within. His manner of crafting the songs he writes is a deft as his touch with an audience. His songs will surprise you, in the best of ways--and leave you wanting to hear more. A professional from the word go, a keen instrumentalist, a wordsmith and a heart-tugger--this man is going places (and he's already been to The Don t Shop!)."

 

DallasMusic.com Showcase Review, June 2001

"Eric had the audience hanging on to every phrase, catching every joke, every lightsided view of life. With his big cozy smile and wonderful way of words, he sang until his spirit refreshed everyone in the audience."
