- The Blues Hound 90.1 FM KPFT Houston "Mark May Is Far And Away One Of The Most Talented And Passionate Bluesmen I've Ever Had The Pleasure To Listen To. His Songs Work Their Way Into Your Very Soul...In A Way That Makes You Feel Naughty For Liking Them So Much. His Licks Are Like Narcotic...You Simply Can't Wait For That Next Hit."
- Sue Leighton Program Director QFM96...Host Of "Blue Monday" "When I Heard The First CD Call On The Blues I Was Blown Away! Mark Is One Of The Best Blues-Rock Artists To Come Along In Years. With Great Singing/song-Writing And Guitar Playing He Reminds Me Of Everyone From Albert Collins To Stevie Ray To Carlos Santana. Hell I Even Heard A Couple Of My Licks In There!"
- Dickey Betts "For Those Who Like His Sound This CD Will Not Disappoint. True Mark May From Beginning To End. There Are Songs Reminiscent Of 'Call On The Blues' Telephone Road Houston Tx AND Doll Maker And Some Real Surprises That Stretch Mark's Creativity Which Is Obviously Ever-Expanding And So Nice To Witness." ~ A.S.O. "Mark May's Gutsy Tone Feisty Pull-Off Licks And Ground-Glass Vocals Invite Comparison To Any Number Of Texas Bluesmen. But The Twin Guitar Leads Wah Rhythm Spanks And Occasional Burst Of Fusionesque Melodic Complexity That Pepper His Second Release Telephone Road Houston TX Make May Something Much More Than Just Another Traditionalist." GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE "Mark May's Telephone Road Had Me So Captivated That It Almost Didn't Get Reviewed In Blues Revue-I Was Holding It Hostage In My Car! May Is A Lead Guitarist With A Southern-Fried Sound And Jazzy Technique That Expands Beyond The Workday Blues This 12-Song Disc Bursts With Tons Of Musical Talent." BLUES REVUE MAGAZINE "Mark Plunges Into An Albert Collins Song Called 'Lights Are On But Nobody's Home'. Just When You Think This Sweet And Powerful Rendition Of The Blues Song Has Been Interpreted As Well As Is Possible Mark Slides In With A Lead That Not Only Blew Me Away He Brought The Feel To A Level That Quite Frankly Probably Transcends What Anyone Could Do With It." REAL BLUES MAGAZINE “Let’s Agree That If Dickey Betts Calls You Out To Be His Right Hand Man You Must Be Doing Something Right. We Caught Up With Mark Fresh From The Van After Having Played Five Gigs In Three Days On His Way To – Where Else? The Next Show.” – Riverhorse The ToneQuest Report
