“Every song here exudes magic, untouchable feeling of someone who is about to become huge. Davis has the skills, maturity, and artistry of players twice his age and stands out as an individual, even in a crowded playing field. Dog Bites Back is one of the strongest debut albums to come down in quite some time. Dyer Davis gives every indication of being on a trajectory to become one of the dominant artists in contemporary blues. Remember: you heard it here first.”

– Rock & Blues Muse Review – By Mike O’Cull

“This is the most exciting thing I’ve heard since Cristone Kingfish Ingram’s debut.”” Dog Bites Back has the ferocious energy of Zeppelin’s early stuff; this original and exciting blend of rock ‘n’ blues has the nuts to blow you away!”

– Hot Wax Record Reviews by the Rock Doctor *****+

“This is an exceptional album. The first time through I thought what a fine soulful blues rock CD it was. The second time through I was even more impressed and with each listen I hear more and more that tells me this is a really great piece of work. I most highly recommend it and I have a feeling that folks will take notice of this album when the next sets of awards start coming out – it really is a superb album!”

– Blues Blast Magazine Senior writer Steve Jones

“Dyer’s guitar playing on Train Wreck and the title track Dog Bites Back is right up there with Paul Kossoff and Ronnie Wood; totally understated but grizzly and dare I say it; sexy too; yet never over playing his hand and never threatening those ornery vocal performances…, that show a young singer at the very top of his game as he enunciates every single word while sounding every inch the Rock Star. WOWZA! It has knocked me for six!”

– Rocking Magpie Review UK

“All the pieces fit together perfectly, and the results are outstanding. ” Dog Bites Back ” is an understatement.  This is one hound that holds on and never let’s go! Highly entertaining, thoroughly exciting, and pure enjoyment from start to finish. Superb debut that gets better and more interesting with repeated listening’s.  Dyer Davis will set the music world on fire for years to come. Well Done !!”
