"Don't Think Twice about This One"

"The way you sang that moved me to tears."
- Wayne Harris


"He is Mr Songman"

"Loved your resonator tune!" - Blues Box Radio


"Come Down Baby and Lay It Down"

"You've got some strong lyric images and a voice that reminds me of Pete Seeger. The songwriting is solid." - Taxi


"Fingerpicking like John Hurt"

"Sitting here and listening right now to you, sounds truly great my friend! I totally dig your music, especially your fingerpicking style." - Bottleneck John


"No Refunds - by David Boffa"

"If there’s anything Willie Nelson taught us, it’s that down-on-your-luck tales put to rootsy Americana by hapless outlaws make for a solid country tune. Hooper and Beckwith blend Nelson-style country music with yankee folk-rock flare on No Refunds, the Shrewsbury-based duo’s latest release. Songs with choruses that reminds us “It ain’t love, it ain’t money, it’s the whiskey that eases the pain” are tempered with lighthearted ballads like “Tore Down Man,” which sees Hooper pining for a traveling loved one and lamenting “I’ve got three hungry hounds giving me the stare, I give them chicken teriyaki and a half-eaten burger.” Where these are sad sack stories, “Ain’t No Storm” offers a rally cry. A former New Orleansean, Hooper sings “We’ve been knocked out, muddy water, driven from our homes, but ain’t no storm gonna take our New Orleans.” Who’d want a refund after hearing that?"

- David Boffa, Worcester Magazine

" 'No Refunds' by Hooper & Beckwith succeeds in displaying a dynamic blend between country, folk, and rugged blues. With impressive instrumentation and cut through vocal harmonies, this album gives listeners that true country/folk vibe. ?It?s the Whiskey That Eases the Pain? is the perfect example of the smooth, easy listening harmonies of Don Hooper and Steve Beckwith. But not only do Hooper and Beckwith bring listeners that appreciable vocal duo, but they also incorporate their well-played rack harmonica which complements the finger picking guitar on songs like "Ain't No Storm" and "It Ain't the Crime but the Cover-up." Their memorable lyrics and blend of instrumentation will keep listeners? attention throughout all 14 well-written tracks. "No Refunds" is well worth the listen for any true country/folk fan, and will leave listeners with a positive feel for this well-constructed album."
