Chris Spector, Editor and Publisher ©2008 Midwest Record
"A guitar ace that you won’t find fault with, Hall is a contemporary roadhouse man with a feel for the form and respect for his audience’s time making sure not to waste a single one of the fusillade of notes he delivers them. Tasty stuff that’s right in the pocket throughout."

Greg Prato, Reviewer (allmusic)
"Ever since the Fabulous Thunderbirds scored a few hits in the ‘80s, there have been very few bands that managed to merge tasty/authentic-sounding blues licks with mainstream rock. That is, until Ricky Gene Hall & the Goods came along, with 2008's ‘Bam!'"

Lisa Martin, Roots Music Director 91.5FM WTUL New Orleans
"Got your CD down at the station. I am going to review this and put in our rotation. I really like the funky, swampy, bluesy feel of the music."
