An assembly line of blues and rock drives "messin with a fool," it captures Detroit's independent spirit with true grit and motor city soul. Eliza Neals sought out the unique talents of veteran writer/producer Martin 'Tino' Gross (Kid Rock, RL Burnside) and united him with Detroit legend Barrett Strong (Marvin Gaye, Temptations) to begin provocative recording sessions. Eliza's "strangely sultry blues voice" and cool writing style melted with the two masters forging a solid union. Completing their first song plus music video in the summer of 2010, proved "Misery" could truly bring happiness! "messin with a fool" is finished, thirteen songs hammered into a Bluesy Motown-Rock-Soul-Fortress! Rocking Detroit, New York City and multiple stops in between refined and hardened the sound. MT cover girl Eliza Neals is "handily bridging the idea of a blues chanteuse, the classy, sexy singer, to a genre that seems to be overrun with style-over-substance singers....Husky crooners don't come along like this very often." -Metrotimes fall 2011 HERE'S WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING: ABOUT 'Messin With A Fool' .....THANK YOU! XO "Neals has a voice comparable in quality with Bonnie Raitt but with stylistic approaches that are more power pop or punk. It sounds fresh... Rainin in Detroit is a solid blues ballad with phrasing that puts me in mind of Ricki Lee Jones but with a totally original voice" BMan's Blues Report July 2012 "Motor City has revved up and charged up, gunned down and spun out one of the best new blues voices I've heard in a long time. Eliza Neals has a salty, sultry and powerful voice." KickAss Music Women June 2012 Four Microphones (Remarkable) "Well-versed in the art of heating up songs that drift sensually between provocative soul and the more urgent examples of blues-infused rock, Neals' style is incendiary and unabashed."
