THIRSTY EAR MAGAZINE

"Three notes into the first song of his new and very strong self-released CD "NO ROOM TO REASON" you know it's Hirsch plucking away on his battered acoustic. It's a pleasing, greasy package that falls somewhere between unique and familiar old-school country blues and greasy clubhouse.  

All these original songs were recorded first take,and the spontaneity shows. The result is unwaveringly tasty, in a home fried kind of way. Boasting both quiet reflective pieces and the badass boogies Hirsch is known for,... will Kick your ass. I can highly recommend " NO ROOM TO REASON" , Hirsch makes the blues worth having.

BLUES REVIEW MAGAZINE

"Stan Hirsch's low voice sounds like it has built-in slapback echo, giving it a haunting quality well-suited to his stylized blues compositions.Hirsch plays solo acoustic guitar, blending dark Texas and delta blues with the occasional ray of John Hurt sunlight.  

Unafraid of the stray odd interval,Hirsch must count John Campbell and John Lee Hooker as equal inspirations;"  

"NO ROOM TO REASON will challenge and reward."
