What the critics are saying about Craig Horton:

San Francisco Blues Fest, Sept. 2003: "Craig Horton gave one of the memorable sets that had people talking. It was impressive and it was deep mountain high! The real thing!"

Tom Mazzolini, producer of the San Francisco Blues Fest

Blues Estafette, Utrecht, Netherlands: “Craig Horton played the day’s first set there, and it was easily one of the finest. The 62-year-old Bay Area veteran was ready from the word go. Clad in black and offering styles ranging from B.B. King to Chuck Berry, Horton made his stinging guitar attack look effortless.”

Vincent Abbate, Blues Review

“Horton’s a natural – a tremendous singer, biting guitar player, and talented writer.”

Tom Hyslop, Blues Review

“Vocally, Horton is most reminiscent of Freddy King (with a bit of Buddy Guy’s upper register); you can hear some T-Bone in his guitar, but after 40 years of playing blues, jazz, R&B and rock ‘n’ roll, Craig is certainly his own man.”

Red Rooster, Blues Access

“Horton’s vocals are confident and assertive and his guitar work is inventive.”

Jim DeKoster, Living Blues
