"In July of 1999, I had the pleasure of experiencing Terry Hanck and the Soul Rockers at the Mt. Shasta Blues Festival in Mt. Shasta, CA. After his performance I met Terry breifly as he was loading up his van to travel to his next performance.Terry and I have a mutual friend in Portland. Lloyd Jones of Lloyd Jones Struggle. Terry asked me if I had a copy of his CD. I didn't. So, he gave me a copy of his Raw and Live CD. After I returned to my home in Klamath Falls, Oregon, I listened to his CD with my band (The Craig Allen Blues Band). We were all very impressed. Most of the songs are longer than most CD songs, so when you are hit with an awesome groove, Like "Slip Away," or "Let A Woman Be A Woman," it's almost as good as sex.Terry has spent some time in Cajun country around New Orleans. Even though Terry is a Californa resident, it is apparant that he's picked up on some of the Cajun musical repitoire. Both his voice and sax sizzles with the verosity of a Cajun hot sauce mixed with blues, rock, and R&B. Terry is west coast boogie at its best.Terry and the Soul Rockers Sizzle....You must check it out."

Live and Raw is full of life

"I saw Terry Hanck perform live at a blue's club in San Francisco and purchased the CD the next day. Very seldom does a CD give one the same feelings, emotions, and adrenaline flow as a live show, but this one does that and more! It cuts to the very core of every blues lover. He's got a distinct New Orleans old blues feel mixed with contemporary appeal. The music draws you in and the lyrics hold you there. This is a definite got to have if you like blues."
