- Compelled To Play
BLUES MAGAZINE - France #58 - Andre Perronnet
I would buy this CD for "Guilty Of Boogie" alone - I'm fearful that I might wear out this portion of the CD. But if you haven't heard him, then take this opportunity because here is a guitar master at work!"
- Terry Clear -Blues Bytes International
"Hirsch isn't so much playing the blues here as he is channeling them. In that regard, Hirsch's guitar prowess is simply on a higher plane. But he's also supremely gifted with the ability to make virtuosity palatable to even the most casual listener. This record is decidedly Stan Hirsch the bluesman at his finest." LOCAL IQ - July 2009- Michael Henningsen
"...brilliant acoustic guitar virtuoso playing, it is doubtless on another level, and the vocals are well suited to the music."

Compelled To Play CD
"Compelled To Play" (2009) was another extremely well received album (See reviews). A mix of originals and very re-arranged covers. Stretching out...pushing the boundary's a bit.
These are all just first takes "live" in the studio. He sits down and plays the same as on stage - just guitar and vocal. No overdubs or multi-track.
On this page you can read press reviews and listen to a few tunes. Also there is a link to the distributor.
---------------------------------Note from Stan:
My situation at this time is that I have no distributor for my albums. Also, because of the covid restrictions, I am unable to do much touring which is how I sale most cd's. That being the case I offer my music for free. Just listen/download what you would like to own and share.
