What OTHERS have SAID::
"This is a nice thing.when a guitarist can take such an old instrument and create such a NEW HYPNOTIC SPELL..."
-John McEUEN- Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-
“Words and music TALENTED singer-songwriter Stephen DiJoseph doesn't make a big issue of having Tourette's syndrome, so we won't either. His new CD HYPNOTIZED highlights his low-key, prog-rock sound and jazzy folkways plus, his dynamite, swinging version of the Moody Blues ‘Nights in White Satin’.”
- Michael Harrington- Philadelphia Enquirer
“Complex, bold, awe-inspiring performances and arrangements. The likes of which this listener has rarely witnessed.”
– BrianAustin Whitney- Founder,
JP Folks International Music Network
“...Strains of acoustic folk-rock, Beckish modernism, soft-pedal soul, and drum-'n'-bass coalesce into a poetic and accessible collection of songs with an original flavor."
-Jon Sobel - Blogcritics.org
"...a soulful voice .... mind-bending instrumentals that leave you feeling "like you found something you didn't know you needed”
-says Maine Things Considered host Charlotte Renner.
