Blues Magazine Netherlands ‘Sweet or Mean’ review
“…(incorrect)” Wrong… we send out so much material to help readers, critics and fans understand what the story is. Eliza Neals wrote the songs on piano. Some of the songs and their structure pre-date the album by over 5 years. I perform most of the songs live before the sessions to the musicians or they... Read More

Bluebird Review’s marvelous ‘Sweet or Mean’ review
“Able to create the right bridge between traditional and contemporary Blues and Blues/Rock, thanks to an extraordinary vocal ability and to a songwriting often delivering intense, cutthroat lyrics, it was almost inevitable that Neals would want to work with a guitarist and a tried-and-true giant of modern Blues/Rock like Popa Chubby.” No doubt, somewhere after...

‘She Can Belt’ Goldmine Magazine Sweet or Mean Review
“I like it both ways. Man, she can belt.” Like with a Belt or yes SING! Not many people use the term Belt anymore, obviously because many singers truly can’t “belt it out!” I guess the term came from actually getting beaten and the hollering or yelling that came out of being beaten with a...
