“…outrageous, electric and brilliant – an energetic album full of passion and flair.” Review is print only.

 

 

 

 “If you are the type of listener who likes Buddy Whittington and some of the southern rockers, then this album should appeal to you although some of the lyrical themes are darker, focusing on revenge, murder, drugs and other such good stuff that has been the staple of country music for years.” (Review in print only)

 

The Rocking Magpie: 

“It appears Shane Dwight has been around the American Blues scene for a decade or so; but this album so classy and well constructed I think the time is right for him to break out into the rest of the World; which will welcome him with open arms.”

 

“A wonderful mix of blues and honky-tonk country, the opener is the title track, and will easily hook you with its catchy lyrics and great guitar work.” – Elmore

 

“One of Music City’s prime guitar warriors, Shane Dwight excels in numerous situations, from story songs and laments to explosive workouts and fiery duels. Shane Dwight’s playing and singing is consistently stellar, and frequently magnificent. – Nashville’s Source for Daily News

“Dwight’s also a solid singer, with an expressive voice, but the strength of the album is the songs—both the songwriting and the execution. ” – Blues Rock Review 

“The songs feel like connected short stories, painting their collective picture of sin and redemption, mixed with hope and failure while (almost) always enjoying the ride, even when it is likely straight to hell. Somehow, Dwight accomplishes all this in an incredibly lean and tight ten songs, only three of which even crack the four-minute mark.”

 

“Shane Dwight’s relentlessly kick-butt blues-rock strongly suggests a stretch of deep-dish Dixie-fication somewhere along his musical path.” – Roots Music Report

California by way of Nashville, gunslinger Shane Dwight does indeed play rocked-up blues, and fans of Stevie Ray and George Thorogood will find much to love.

“Dwight is a charismatic and talented guitarist, vocalist and songwriter… fast becoming a blues sensation”

 

“Contemporary blues can smoke, when it is done with spirit and when it has got class. Shane Dwight has both. Singing and playing lead guitar, he is on target every time, rocking, authentic blues delivered by a great front man… hand it to Dwight for the type of set that brings boogie back to the blues with a vengeance as evidenced in his sweaty live shows”

“One of Music City’s prime guitar warriors, Shane Dwight excels in numerous situations, from story songs and laments to explosive workouts and fiery duels. Shane Dwight’s playing and singing is consistently stellar, and frequently magnificent. – Nashville’s Source for Daily News

“Shane Dwight has been likened to George Thorogood; both are hard-charging blues rockers who put plenty of blood, toil and sweat into their performances. And while Dwight is a better singer and songwriter, and his guitar playing is also more subtle, more dynamic and draws on more varied sources.” – Vintage Guitar

 

“Dwight has been a regional festival fixture on the West Coast for some time. Maybe someone on this side will give him a listen. I like the album a lot, with it’s fresh writing and blend of styles. It’s impressive that he’s drawn only on his own talents here, writing, arranging, playing and singing. The band is crisp and tight as well…”

“As I listened to this pair of national debut releases from hot and fiery guitarist Shane Dwight, the same thought kept running through my mind: Here’s one wild cat with great potential… he plays a mean guitar, whether he’s rocking, delving into roots, alt-country, R&B, or hitting you in the gut with searing, straight-ahead blues… he plays with charisma, heart, and energy.”

Dwight’s an adept songwriter who likes blending jazz, rock, soul, classic R&B, and blues all to his amalgam of sounds. So he can write, play some mean guitar, and produce – I say the future is looking pretty bright for a guy who dares to play by his own rules.” – Blues Juke Joint Soul

 

“Another incredible act was Shane Dwight. Shane has everything going for him; An incredible guitarist, good looks and a way with the audience that many pros long for. His set varied from old” Rock and Roll & Blues and then ended with a tribute to Led Zeplin and the famous Jimmy Page guitar licks . Once again the crowd rose to their feet in applause.”

 

“While Shane Dwight shines as a guitarist, his real talent is as a showman… he brings to mind some of the earthier blues, jazz and gospel acts of ages past. Combine that with his killer licks and it’s only a matter of time that he’s crowned as the heir apparent to Stevie Ray Vaughan.”
