"Terzic combines the poise and dexterity of Hamza Al Din with a Western-inclusive attitude akin to Anouar Brahem, threading slivers of blues and funk into his more fevered string bending and sounding remarkably self-assured."
-Derek Taylor

"Terzic...... leads off with an Oud solo that sounds like it was taken right from Jimi Hendrix's fret board."
-Richard Markus

"Brandon Terzic....is both original and solidly locked in the tradition at the same time; not an easy juggling act, but one he pulls off with aplomb and grace."
- Thomas R. Erdmann

"Terzic’s opening oud solo is informed by none other than Robert Johnson’s deal struck at the infamous crossroads. Yes, the blues."
