Co-Producer JW-Jones says, "Victor Wainwright and I really brought out the very best of Eric's abilities, and this is a really great album!"
Heideman was personally requested to open shows for ZZ Top at Eccles Theatre, Walter Trout, and Mike Zito at The State Room.

"Eric plays straight from the heart and soul, and is an original artist with his own story to tell. His music sounds original while still being steeped in blues tradition. He brings a fresh sound, and that is exactly what this genre needs right now. Check him out live and on recording when you can!"
