His legendary performances with Lil Ruben & The Motor City Players in the late 70s amassed a huge local following. With Albert Collins and the Icebreakers his international dues were paid. Touring Europe, Canada, New Zealand and across the USA, Robert Noll is widely recognized for his Unparalleled stage presence. He has consistently been honored with guitar, vocal, production and entertainment awards. His command of classic and modern blues style is unrivaled by any performing artist. A world class guitarist and showman extraordinaire! Listen to Robert Noll. Listen to the Blues. Listen to the exciting sound of a Mission Accomplished! Erik Smith WXYZ TV ............................................................ ............................................................ .........................It's when Robert Noll breaks into an introspective solo sequence that leaves everyone (including his band) slack-jawed with amazement, then we remember why we dragged ourselves out into the snow and ice instead of spinning up a CD at home. Shut up and listen! Metro-Times ....................... He has the magic that forms the core of the blues — the ability to take one persons story and carry it straight into someone else's heart. NOLL WAS WELL WORTH STANDING FOR by Kevin O Kane NZ.......................... He's certainly the biggest draw in town, he keeps folks talking and standing in line to see him wherever he plays, from Discos to the Q Club. Mark Gallo - Eccentric Newspapers ............................. Noll is one of those rare bluesmen who lift the genre out of its tedium of simple repetitive chord sequences and derivative melodies: most blues performances are ho-hum, more fun to play along in than to listen to. Noll however, commands and deserves an attentive audience partly because of his gritty, accurate voice and largely because of his stage presence and connection with the listeners. UNPLUGGED Neil Macleod S. NZ ............................... Noll is the crown jewel and shining light in the Detroit music scene. Geoff Renaud - Jam Rag Magazine .................................... The Detroit audiences have been going wild for Robert for many years. Detroit Free Press ........................................... ROB NOLL WAS HOT. At Alberts Hall responding with SPINE -TINGLING exuberance. He had dedicated the number to Freddie (King), but the solo itself dredged up every blues and rock riff recorded over the past 20 years and showcased it in one tidy seven or eight minute package. By Alan Niester The Globe & Mail Canada’s National Newspaper. ........................................................... He is playing better than me, I swear! Albert Collins Quote in Guitar World Magazine. ................... Strip by screaming strip - the smell of blood was in the air! Boston Globe & Mail BLISTERING! Toronto Star ......................................................... Noll may expel pain and woe better than anyone. The notes that roll off his electric guitar more than galvanize an enduring spirit. Larry OConner - The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers. .................................................. BLUES MISSION, is a symphony of styles edged with the searing brilliance of his own raw, passionate delivery - every note an electrifying testament to his talent. But when you attend a Robert Noll performance, what you get is not just inspiring music - you get a tour of his world. When he takes the stage, (usually by storm)! He opens the door to his heart and welcomes you in. His exuberant spirit is the essence of his gift — the ability to convey the depth of his feelings to his audience and send them off with a little piece of his soul. He is without question one of the most significant blues guitarist of his time. It is safe to assume that critics and fans alike will be seriously challenged to come up with new adjectives to describe this First Magnitude Star called Robert Noll, as he carves his place into the future of blues.
