"You must add this CD to your collection!Nelson's unique sound is tantalizing and his lyrics hard hitting and to the point.. his guitar playing matches that of our greatest legends. We can only hope he and his band tour the Northeast ....
"A guaranteed sellout no matter what the venue!""

"This dude rocks! His gritty, guitar-driven, bluesy rock delivers with a big KABOOM! Texas' next guitar legend has surfaced in my opinion. If you like the Stones or SRV, buy this CD. No gimmicks here and no rip-offs either, he's the real deal. Talent, heart, and soul, all the necessary traits to become a real guitar and musical legend."
Great music

Best pure rock and roll I've heard in years

"From the opening salvo of "Take You Home" to the closing cover
of Mick Jaggers' "Don't Tear Me Up", Long, Loud 'n sweaty hits
the sweet spot for pure rock.
Backed by one of the most powerful duos in rock today, Double Trouble, Nelson holds nothing back as
he twists his Fender Strat into a wailing, bluesy call to rock
and roll arms!
This may be the best road album in the music scene today-
I dare you to turn up "GFE" to satisfy the rock and roll road animal in you! (I've already trashed my stock speakers in the pickup.)
Try it and you'll buy it!"
Great rock and roll guitar

"One of the best rock and roll guitar albums of the last, I don't know, ten years or so. He seems to have a Stones influence but not in an imitation sense. "Sweet Lovin" and "Dixie Cup" are terrific rock songs, but you can pretty much pick any song on the CD and you'll be talking about a song that really rocks. I don't anything about this guy but I can tell you if you like straightforward kick-[butt] rock and roll you can't go wrong with this one."
