"A truly gifted and multi-talented guitar player, singer and writer with a combination of both Greek and American musical cultures, who can project some of the most exciting electric, bottleneck, slide guitar runs, and straight-ahead, solo, down-home acoustic blues. He's one hell of a player who will continue to carry the torch and keep the blues alive well into the 21st century. His recording work, both in Greek and English, with original songwriting skills, will delight listeners on both sides of the globe." --Bill Nolan, WPKN-FM, Bridgeport, CT "Spiros, with his New York-Greek accent, has a true voice of his own. Soukis Blues is some good old rockin' blues with powerful guitar in the style of early Eric Clapton; earthy vocals with their spice of the Greek isles, in combination with his strong guitar action--the show was delightful." --Tony Falco, Falcon Music & Art Productions, Inc. "Spiros Soukis's live appearance, with the legendary Pavlos Sidiropoulos, left me open-mouth for a long while after the show ended. His technical ability on his instrument is astonishing as is his latest release, 'Lights of Vertigo," with Greek lyrics. This time his guitar playing surpasses his ability to write good songs and sing them with his deep, warm, sensuous voice." --George Tsimas, Fractal (Choice of the Month) "Spiros Soukis's new release, 'Lights of Vertigo,' brings to mind the best of my favorite guitar players: Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, etc. Combined with good songs and good vocals this recording is a must-have." --Leo Antonopoulos, Difono "Blues-rock funk spiced with Greek elements are the characteristics of Spiros Soukis's new release, 'Lights of Vertigo,' where he showcases a rare guitar playing ability with an essential economy. This CD is a treasure not only for guitar players but for music lovers alike." --Alekos Papadopulos, Audio (Five of five stars; Title of the Month) "Soukis's amazing guitar playing sent shivers down your spine placing him out there among the best." --George Zaxaropoulos, Metal Hammer "One of the best new releases, 'Lights of Vertigo,' combines Soukis's guitar virtuosity with his ability to write catchy blues-rock songs." --Giannis Simantiras, Eneken Music Press (Recommended Listening) "A remarkable new recording, 'Lights of Vertigo,' from one of Greece's finest guitar players, Spiros Soukis." --Kostas Damigos, Ichos |
