"messin with a fool" 2012 REVIEWS so far!

HERE'S  WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:
"Messin with a fool is Detroit music through and through and Eliza Neals is a vocal powerhouse.”  The Blog Is

"CD is Awesome... 'Man's Man' and 'Money' were my favorites" DJ Doug Podell WCSX 94.7FM Detroit

FOUR of FIVE STARS "Well-versed in the art of heating up songs that drift sensually between provocative soul and the more urgent examples of blues-infused rock, Neals' style is incendiary and unabashed." 
Real Detroit 2012

"The most in control out of control singer I have seen in 10 years of booking venues from Paris, Miami, and Milan, New York incredible" says Randy Singer! 

If you’re a fan of Amy Winehouse or even Adele, then you will surely be moved by Eliza Neals!” Detroit Rock Review

“This Gal was born to sing them soulful blues too. I’ve been a fan of Eliza’s for years.” Guitarz Forever

"Eliza Neals’ Blues are not the Blues of nostalgia, no they are definitely the Blues of what’s happening right now." Grown Folks Music

"Neals, for the uninitiated is the sultry swingin’, croonin’ jazz Queen of the D. She’s like Amy Winehouse without the obvious addiction issues or the hair." Metrotimes 2012

"On this album she worked with musical legend, Barrett Strong, who wrote Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Money and I Heard It Through the Grape Vine to name a few" WDET 101.9

"Eliza Neals is a class act... This album is testament to her beautiful voice and the music she creates..." Support Kick Ass Music

"Neals has created a well thought out album through some killer yet provocative recording sessions." Radio Mackinac

"This Motown diva has a raspy, classically trained voice, which is perfectly suited for her gritty, sexy soul tinged blues-rock originals." GuitarShop TV

“her strangely sultry blues voice that's as raw and authentic as it is honest and powerful. She's handily bridging the idea of a blues chanteuse, the classy, sexy singer, to a genre that seems to be overrun with style-over-substance singers." Metrotimes 2011

'Detroit Rock Review' + 'Guitarz Forever' Album Reviews!

 Detroit Rock Review lays it all out with a sweet review! ….
…
“Born to sing the blues, Neals has taken her music from Detroit to New York, drawing rave reviews every stage she played. With “messing with a fool” she delivers an outstanding performance with her latest effort, drawing from a supersized batch of talented musicians from the city she calls home.” “Our favorite, ‘Man’s Man,’ has Neal’s again bringing the heat while you can’t help but to move in your seat to the boogie woogie blues of ‘Livin with Yo Mama’…” “If you’re a fan of Amy Winehouse or even Adele, then you will surely be moved by Eliza Neals!”

“this Gal was born to sing them soulful blues too. I’ve been a fan of Eliza’s for years.”
“If you like blues with a soulful flair in the styles of Motown, rock, uptown jazz, to boogie-woogie, then grab for some of Eliza the next time you want to get your groove on.
I am a real big Etta James fan and Eliza Neals reminds me of her allot. So this should give you a ballpark to work in here… Maybe that’s why the motor-city madmen call her “Eliza Neals aka ‘The Detroit Diva’ “ 
Thank so much and Rock ON!
