Here's what critics have been saying about Neal Francis's new Changes album:  

“Superb” - Martin Ruddock, SHINDIG! MAGAZINE  

“BEST NEW MUSIC. Freed from years of addiction, Neal Francis leads a newly sober life, which he's captured in a collection of new songs. A piano prodigy influenced by the funk and soul scene, we hear echoes of Dr. John, The Meters, and loads of joy.”- Ariana Morgenstern, KCRW  

[4/5 stars!] “Absolutely an artist to watch.” - Jeff Monk, WINNIPEG FREE PRESS  

“…. an album for the ages. Francis has created an inspired collection of songs steeped in New Orleans rhythms, Chicago blues, and early '70s rock n' roll. ” - GRIMEY'S RECORDS, NASHVILLE  

“Francis’ mix of Chicago blues and ‘70s funk makes for an inspired brand of New Orleans jazz which would fit right in on Frenchman Street any night of the year.” - Gregg Katsoudas, LOST IN CONCERT  

"Remarkable." - Darryl Sterdan, TINNITIST  

“The reincarnation of Allen Toussaint.” Craig Charles, BBC RADIO 6  

“Think New Orleans meets the Midwest with a little bit of California sun shining in the background.” - TwinCitiesMedia  

“There’s a good chance you’ll have heard of Francis by the time the year is over…classic Funk, Soul and R&B.” - Mike Breen, Cincinnati CityBeat
