REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS ALBUMS BY DOC HEIDE:
Crystal-clear melodies….A pristine work. (Mitch Ritter, Dirty Linen Magazine)
If you like Dylanesque lyrics…., you will definitely enjoy this. (Alfons Maes, Keysandchords.com, Belgium)
A rare rock album indeed. Literate and thoughtful. Heide is a key figure on the region’s performance scene. You have a person who knows his way around music (and finding solid musicians) as well as knowing the inner sanctums of the mind. Heide deals with searching, reflective, and sometimes spiritual thoughts. A full-fledged treat. (Warren Gerds, Green Bay Press-Gazette)
From the moment I put this CD on, I loved it. Folks who like Bob Dylan-style lyrics will enjoy (these) tunes. (Hammonline.com)
A…comparison could be made with Warren Zevon. (Neufutur.com)
Digs deep into the meanings of life, death, and the modern world (Ed Huyck, Door County Advocate).
Doc’s songs have a way of shooting an arrow straight into your soul, from his soaring anthems to his sweet ballads. Over these decades, Doc has found words and melodies to express what’s deep inside us all. He has given us songs for grief and for joy. For love and for loss. Each song is a piece of his soul, laid bare for us. It’s a huge body of work. A tremendous legacy. At the conclusion of Doc’s show, I found myself on my feet before I knew it, almost as if levitated from the electricity in the house. (Heidi Hodges, Door County Advocate)
Doc Heide is a genre-twisting iconoclast and one of the finest storytellers making music today. Vocal harmonies are impeccable, surprising, old school and yet still refreshingly inventive. Doc Heide is certainly the most coherent narrator I’ve been exposed to recently. A wonderful addition to any record collection. (No Depression)
