Soundguardian’s Epic “Sweet or Mean” review
“Exactly 25 minutes and 43 seconds were enough for my body to counteract the soul-rock-blues flu that had crushed my musical being. Detroit Eliza Neals’ new EP of amazing musician “Sweet or Mean” is the cause of my acute “pain” from which I still haven’t fully recovered.” Soundguardian my Croatian blues lovers has given me...

Rock Doctor’s Hot “Sweet or Mean” review
An EP of originals from Eliza here capable of blowing the roof off of any roadhouse on Route 66 or in the Delta. Sweet Or Mean is genuine, lowdown, shit-kickin’ bad-ass blues.

Making a Scene Brightest Sweet or Mean review
“With all this firepower backing her up, it is Eliza who burns the brightest. While you know you’re in for something special from the first notes of Poppa Chubby’s slide guitar on “Pawn Shop Blues,” it is that barrelhouse voice of Neals’ that grabs you and won’t let go!” Rehetta is right this powerhouse just...

Rock Blues Muse launchpad review of “Sweet Or Mean”
“Pawn Shop Blues,” the luscious horn lines and slide guitar let you know what you’re in for, even before you get the first taste of Neals’ rowdy, roadhouse-style vocals. It is a good warm-up for the full-on emotional fury she unleashes on “Blackish Grey.” “Pawn Shop Blues” is my launchpad takeoff song as it has... Read More
