"The re-emergence of melody, songwriting and performance, in the age of blathering hip hop thugs and gyrating pre-pubescent video whores, is most desperately welcome. Nathan Davis returns us to a time when purported musicians actually played and wrote music instead of sampling the abilities of others and claiming it as one's own. This is a man who writes and performs his own singular musical vision. He can claim a perspective few have seen and he can present its case with a talent and a passion only few are capable of. This is a survivor telling his tale in Technicolor terms. This is a rare meeting of experience and art."
John Custer, producer
"Take all the anger, addiction, despair, revelation, love and redemption that can possibly be packed into the human heart over a lifetime, pour it into gospel piano and raw guitar, lead it with a vocal that can growl, rasp, plead, and roar, and this is the result."
Jennifer Layton, from Indie-Music.com
"I hadn't heard of Nathan Davis until I caught the tail-end of his performance by chance at the
local Border's Books. I go there for the books, and I find the live music pleasant, but I was
completely blown away by Nathan and his band mates' accompaniment. I bought his CD and am even more impressed."
David Richard, Internet
"Every once in a while you run into a guitar player who plays from the heart. Who feels it like it's supposed to be felt and lays it down like it's supposed to be laid down. Nathan Davis has got it."
Dizzy Reed, Guns and Roses
