• "Cheevers speaks from the heart as he explores the contradictions of being a white Southerner...of the ways pride and tradition and love of the land butt heads with sin and guilt." --Rick de Yampert, The Nashville Tennessean
  
• "Borrowing from some, but stealing from none, you can dub him one of those forgotten or unknown American originals like, say a James Talley." -- Acoustic Musician Magazine
  
• "Good songs, good stories and good humour. BOB CHEEVERS is a great country singer and songwriter who is getting a strong following in The Greys. After his shows people say things like "you know, those are great songs. Recently a pal of mine announced, "I've been listening to lots of Bob Cheevers lately - have you got him coming again?" - he's got 3 of his albums now! You'll have a great evening at his Greys show - I know, I've seen him ! Asthe evening progresses expect to hear shouts for 'Sheep' and 'Underpants' a couple of songs from a (strangely!!) little known Cheevers album called '12 Songs You'll Never Hear on Radio' !! They have become cult favourites in the bar. He's a great songwriter, and - if nudged hard enough - can't resist ending the show with a bit of fun ..." -- Mike Lance, Music Promoter who books The Greys Pub and Bar in Brighton, England
  
• "We're picky about who we have on as a support artist and make sure we have top quality. When Bob Cheevers opened for Tom Russell, he was the first supporting artists to get an encore at Mr Kite Benefits". -- Steve Henderson, Northwest England Music Promoter
  
• "When I close my eyes and listen to his music, Bob Cheevers sounds like Willie singing with the honesty of Jackson Browne, the balls of Steve Earle, the wit of George Carlin and the story telling ability of Shelby Foote...but in a voice that is completely his own. When I open my eyes, I see a middle aged man looking like General Custer and having the time of his life in front of an audience he has spellbound with his tall tales and true stories."--Tom Hamilton, Music promoter, Glasgow, Scotland
  
• "Bob Cheevers has forgotten more good songs than most songwriters write...his references range through blues, folk and he has that Memphis stew bubbling down through his bones. A contemporary of those other masters of the songwriting art, Penn and Oldham, Cheevers is the real deal and still waiting to be truly discovered. If you¹re a fan of the aforementioned Memphis boys, you should take some time to discover the Cheevers rhythm thing. I guarantee you won't be disappointed." -- Shaun Belcher, editor, Flyin Shoes Review
  
• "I can honestly say that the 2-hour programme with Bob Cheevers was one of the best that I have had the pleasure of presenting. Bob played live in the studio and our phone lines didn't stop ringing all programme. Bob's musicianship is excellent, his singing full of passion and commitment and his writing is some of the most evocative ever heard on my programme. To my mind Bob is at his best with his Martin guitar, a bunch of self penned songs and an appreciative audience. He is welcome any time on my programme and in fact we have already booked him for 2004. So country music fans watch this spot for further details." --Mick Smith's Country Music network programme, BBC East Midlands
