Blues Blast Magazine April 2013 says

“Eliza Neals hits you right between the eyes… heady brew that seldom fails to grab your attention. Neals voice soars on a spell-binding run-through… illustrating the range of her vocal skills. If your looking for music with an attitude, you definitely need to give this one a listen”

Voted by Readers of REAL DETROIT “The BEST of DETROIT 2013” Best Blues Artist/Group - ELIZA NEALS

"It’s said that everybody has had the blues, but we’d like to add not everybody can sing about ‘em. Fortunately for Detroiters, Eliza Neals can sing. And she can sing well. The Detroit Music Award-winner has a range that we don’t see a lot of around these parts. Not your grandpappy’s blues, Neals puts a modern spin on a form that birthed what we listen to today. She expertly draws from inspirations that include the legendary Barrett Strong (writer of songs like “War” and “Heard it Through the Grapevine.”) This year will be big for the sultry “Detroit Diva.” go here:

ROCKINBLUES SHOW #92 and #94

Beautiful to be included in such a serious list of great blues singers, bands and players. "Show #92 celebrated some of the best known names in the Blues: legendary Chess songwriter, bassist, singer and arranger Willie Dixon, and Mississippi harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite." quote Brent (thanks). Show #94 includes the amazing sounds of Dr. John and Bonnie Raitt (2012 Grammy Winner Best Americana) plus my song "Misery" sandwiched between these two idols. Thank you RockinBlues, "messin with a fool" is in company with the iconic blues musicians and music of all time! We worked hard and it's paying off!
