  • Speachless
    author: Nick Bell

    I have always been skeptical about buying live c.d.s its always more audience then musician, but with One Night Stands that was not the case. This c.d. makes you feel like you are actually at the performances and each track just flows right into the next. Must have if you are a true Eric Himan fan!

  • A One Night Stand You'll Never Forget
    author: George Wood (Canada)

    Coming from below the 49th parallel, Eric Himan hasn’t sounded any sweeter. The one thing that always comes out about Eric Himan is that his live acts are phenomenal. Being outside of his tour scope, I have resigned to never being able to experience such a force … however with his 5th gem of an album, I am no longer in the dark. The live tracks thrust you right into the club/bar where our fine young troubadour lays down an intimate love fest of great music. On this live album, Eric’s voice is a finery that even outdoes what has been laid down on his previous studio albums, delivering an immediacy that has you wanting more. Eric’s interaction with the audience is a delectable bonus, especially his playfulness (IT’S ONLY FAIR) and story telling (IN THE BROWN FOG). And what better way to end this album with BARTENDER, a fun rockable ditty that any club goer can empathize. It was a brilliant idea to release a live album of such a talented songwriter and entertainer … he can only get better, if that’s at all possible.

  • Finally a CD for a night at home
    author: Michael Howard

    Eriic is never short of great talent, a sense of humour and great fun!!! This CD is no exception. Themoment I saw Eric perform for the first time all I wished for was alive album. here it is!!! There are some great surprises here. I am in love with the studio version of "Bartender" :) It is perfect for sitting back and relaxing with candle all aglow. Thanx eric you rock :)

  • Amazing
    author: Becky

    This has got to be one of the best CDs ever. I really loved the unreleased songs that were on it, especially Bartender. Can't wait for his next release.

  • Another great CD from Eric, captures the live experience
    author: Timouth

    Every one of Eric's CD's are well worth purchasing. His insightful lyrics, mastery of guitar, and his beautiful voice are always showcased. With this CD, you can experience what his live performances are like. This is an intimate project, and I think it's great

  • Another Fine Addition To My Eric Himan Collection
    author: Chris Hand

    He just keeps them coming! If you're a fan of Eric's music, don't miss this one. A fantastic compilation of his best as well as a few new additions. Your 6-disk changer is about to become a 5, because you won't want to eject this.

  • Wow!
    author: Laura Howard

    This is an incredible CD-his best yet! The songs showcase his amazing voice and soulful lyrics. Many live CDs are a let down where the artist never sounds quite the same without all the studio "magic." However, Eric sounds better!

  • Jazzy, folksy, great lyrics, cute and sad incredible sound!
    author: Ric Sanchez

    Eric is great in concert or on CD. He is unique with how I would describe as a jazzy folk/rock sound. His lyrics are sharp and the sound is flowing. He is extremely personable, and not hard on the eyes either.
