“Singer/Songwriter Cameron Blake's sophomore album "En Route" is a moving piece of art house folk rock. The Baltimore musician lays down 12 tracks of passionate, eclectic and melodic folk music with hints of the more experimental side of the Beatles and even The Doors…. Cameron Blake has put together a collection of unique and special songs that are honest, passionate and fun. He is a solid musician and a confident songwriter and I look forward to future releases.” -Dan Matheson (wrecked.org)
“With his clear voice he puts forth a whole orchestra of guidance. Cello, clarinet, violin, tuba, percussion, steel guitar, french horn, saxophone, oboe, mandolin, not to mention bass, drums and guitars, it's all available in En Route. This produces a record that is difficult to place; Cameron Blake is too adventurous to limit himself to one style.” –John Gjaltema (altcountry.nl)
“He [Blake] manages to work a perfect balance of folk, pop and rock with profound lyrics that have a deeper meaning than your run of the mill love song” –Lindsay Patton-Carson (Revue Magazine)
“Blake's catchiest hooks on En Route, such as the bluesy sing-along "Hospital,” and the funky electric piano of "The Love Song Never Died," were expected highlights. But the band was able to bring even some of the more downtempo tunes to life onstage, such as "Fit Right In””
-Al Shipley (Baltimore City Paper)
“displayed flashes of brilliance” (Baltimore City Paper)
“Cameron Blake’s music is innovative and excellent. Check him out.” -(Grassrootsy.com)
“The music was beautiful…” -Julia Duin (Washington Times)
“In years to come, I can really see him as a seasoned professional in the world of singer/songwriters. He not only sings, but he can play the violin, harmonica, piano and the guitar. (Just to name a few). Taking his songs to new heights, Blake ties in every instrument brilliantly with his Irish like crooning… I think the song [Where the Blossoms Fall] is a beautiful addition to my list of great folk music.” -Megan Johnson (bmoretunes.com)
“Cameron Blake has more talent in one of his pinkies than I have in my whole body.” -Jerry Coon (Rockford Squire)
“Cameron Blake’s new single 'You Bought Me Twice' is a flamboyantly
performed John Barrowman-esque confession of naughtiness. It’s full of drama and passion...” -The-Mag (UK)
”the Cameron Blake Band, was worth the effort of occasionally straining to
hear, and eventually the band managed to overpower the din and fill the room with their ornate, dramatic pop/rock.” -Al Shipley (Baltimore City Paper)
“… evocative no matter how you cut it.” -Ed Schrader (B Newspaper)
