New York Daily News

Blues Matters
"A well crafted, soulful and superior effort full of radio friendly tracks. Stigers voice is pleasant and striking."
Classic Rock Society Magazine
"Sounds like T-Rex filtered through the Georgia Satellites"
Kool Kat Music
"Do You Feel High slaps you upside the head and makes you want to turn around and ask for more. This is an album full of power pop with bits of bluesy rock flavor that should be in your collection"
Ear Candy Magazine
"Jake Stigers has a great voice that seems to blend the pipes of front men of rock's glory days with the swagger of more contemporary artists. If only they all came this great."
Pop Matters
"The result if Mick Jagger, Steve Miller & Danny Wilde got together & made an album…I think Keith Richards would be full of envy if he heard this stuff…"
