“… Hard Road Home… needs to be heard, contemplated and absorbed… (The album’s) sound… is mostly rooted in… Classic Rock, with sizzling guitar shredding and picking, howling slide work and a virtuoso touch with tone and texture in service to a pedal-to-the-metal rhythmic attack… an aural complement to the urgency of Curreri’s heartfelt messaging sung in a kind of pinched tenor voice that leaves no doubt as to its fierce commitment.”—David McGee, Deep Roots Magazine
