"The new album finds him playing and singing at the top of his game. The former front man of southern rockers Wet Willie, Hall has always been a powerful singer whose vocal mastery took whatever material he chose to new levels, and his voice is in fine form on this album that is produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, who also play guitar on the album ... There is not a bad song on Ready Now ... It's great to have this stunning new album from him; it's one of the best of the year"

"The mantra of the "Blues" as a genre and KTBA Records is to literally "Keep the Blues Alive". Ready Now is a perfect example of why that needs to happen. In an industry where the trend is to go after the latest and greatest social media influencer, what is often lost is the heart and soul of what makes music great. Ready Now is an amazing record that showcases an artist and music style that is timeless and still needs to be heard"
