Talking 'bout that Southern boy.

"Besides being way “Cool,” the lead single from Anthony Hamilton’s forthcoming “The Point of It All” (Dec. 16) serves as further evidence that the gritty, North Carolina-bred crooner may be incapable of making a bad song. Rather than rely on overproduction to steamroll listeners, Hamilton lets his vocals work magic on top of a twangy guitar riff. It’s more of that country-tinged, down-home soul we’ve come to love from a young, old-school cat who always keeps it real".....BOSTON HERALD

"Hamilton often sings touchingly of romantic love on the new album. But unlike the R&B veterans he evokes (namely Womack and Charlie Wilson of the Gap Band), the artist isn't packaged as a virile sex symbol. His sound certainly suggests a rugged and sweaty masculinity uncommon in today's mainstream R&B"....BALTIMORE SUN

"Even with the doors opening up late, a DJ that didn't do what was expected, and a sold out standing room only section, everyone had a great time. Anthony Hamilton put on a show like none other. A true entertainer and a unique sound is what the music industry needs right now, and Anthony Hamilton has both of those qualities".....URBAN NEWZ

"Hamilton, a little firecracker of a performer with the swagger of a charismatic Southern preacher, got down to the nitty-gritty, especially gritty in his case, on the reliable soul burners he’s known for such as "Coming From Where I’m From," "Sista Big Bones," "Charlene" and "Can’t Let Go."".....ST.
