Here's what the critics are saying about Clint Hoover:

"To the short list of great jazz harmonica players... you can now add the name Clint Hoover. Mild mannered off stage, he's a monster onstage or in the studio, a smokin' and soulful soloist who will huff and puff and cajole your house down."
-Tom Surowicz, Mpls Star and Tribune music critic
contributor and host of "Monday evening Jazz" on KBEM radio, Mpls.

"...one of the very best and inventive players of the blues around today."
- Benoit Felten, Planet Harmonica

"Hoover stands out, ranking right up there in the small fraternity of harmonica players (Jean "Toots" Thielemans, Hendrik Meurkens, Howard Levy)."
-Bob Protzman, Saint Paul Pioneer Press

"Clint has a style that virtually transcends the instrument."
-Phil Lloyd, American Harmonica Newsmagazine

"Once again, the imaginative Hoover validates his place as a world class player on the challenging chromatic harp."
- Dan Emerson, The Chord / Electric Fetus

"Clint plays the harp the way Picasso paints..."
-Dale King, Harmonica Player, Germany

"...a true master of the instrument. ...an amazing musician with a unique and individual voice."
-David Lipkind, The Harmonica Educator

"...Sterling harmonica wizard..."
- James Musser, Iowa City Press-Citizen

"...plays at a level rarely achieved..."
