About The New CD
“Hayes is an
excellent guitarist and vocalist and the band is equally
impressive in support. Reclamation is an exceptional set of
modern blues.”
-Graham Clarke,
Blues Bytes
“Full of energy from start to
finish! The guitar tone is delicious!”
-Recoil Magazine
"The story of the Project is great & I really enjoyed
"I've Got A Right To Change My Mind", the 1st track
I played. You will definitely work your way into the Living Blues
Top 25 in June & after that."
-Roy Prescott, Blues Summit, WMWV,
95.3 North Conway, New Hampshire
Just listened to the disc and have to say that you should be
quite proud of the accomplishment. From the vocals, songs, and
organic Midwestern grit you are laying down (not to mention the
ultra fine artwork) sounds like you've got a winner. Congrats on
a fine release."

“This is
the first material that I have heard from this band and it
is an impressive collection…All the tracks are written by
Vince himself and there are some strong songs here…The sound
quality on the CD is excellent and the playing consistently
good. The rhythm section is immaculate throughout "

"Hey Vince,
Got the CD yesterday. Man that thing is fantastic!
You guys are sounding great. Thanks a ton, and all the best."

"Finally, a complete blues work of the 21st century that is
worthy of the genre. From the smooth tones, subtle harmonies,
classical blues riffs and nuanced nouveau flavors crossing the
entire blues spectrum, this is a must own CD for the serious
blues lover. I bought it, put it in my car, and was 20 minutes
late for an appointment as I sat until it was done. The Vincent
Hayes Project pushed the envelope on this one, and it will rise
to the top quickly. Thanks, guys...for the biggest musical treat
I have encountered in years!"
-David Beighley, Fan on CDbaby.com
"I have heard Vincent Hayes by himself and with the Project
and have always enjoyed their sound. This new CD, Reclamation,
is outstanding. The addition of the keyboard was a great move
and adds a good sound to an already great band. Buy this CD and
you will not be sorry you did. It’s been the only sound coming
from my iPod since I got a week ago and is one of a very few
CD's I own that I really like every track on it."

A Simply Amazing Blues Album *****
"A must need for every blues collection, the songs groove and
the album flows! “Hit me High, Hit me Low”, “Middle Man”, “Thank
You Baby” and Halfway Out The Door” are all instant favorites of
mine. The playing from all the musicians is inspiring and
flawless. I truly consider this album a best buy!"

"Vince, I'm very
impressed with the new album! It's a fine example of blues music
done with heart, pride and soul! Your best work yet! Great songs
and awesome sound quality! This is some serious audio for the
soul...everyone needs to purchase their own copy of
"Reclamation" ASAP!! Better yet, get out and support this
band at an upcoming show, and buy it directly from the makers of
this high quality album."
-Chris Kishman, Big
House Blues Band
"Hey Vincent,
Thanks for the CD man. Love yer stuff!
Slammed a bunch of tunes on the air as soon as I received it.
Keep up the great work."
-Terry O, "Top Blues
Radio" on Live 365
"Congratulations
on the release of your new CD “Reclamation” and on your
wonderful performance here at the Dogwood Center! You had us
totally captivated with your great stage presence and original
tunes…it was an unforgettable blues experience. And, you
generated enough electricity to light up this whole town!
We’ve had tremendously positive feedback from the audience and
the only question is, “when will they be back?”
Every song on the new CD is
worth listening to again and again!" Thank you.
Positively,
Diane Yonker

“I bought this album just over a month ago and it
hasn't been off my playist since. It is absolutely fantastic
stuff with no tracks being filler or a throwaway. I have being
listening to blues now for 30 years and have many albums by the
classic blues kings such as
BB King, Muddy, Freddy
King,Albert King etc and more contemporary artists like
Robert Cray,
Joe LouisWalker,
Magic Slim etc. This album
stands alongside the work of these contemporary guys, its
riveting stuff and stands for repeated plays. The guitar work is
great with a very tight rhythm section.
I really like this band and cant wait till they come to the UK
so I can get a chance to see them. Hats off to one of the best
blues albums of 2010.”
Bob Dunsby, CDbaby Fan
