AMERICANA HIGHWAYS (June, 2025) writes:
"This set has a ‘60s soul-blues (R&B) feel, once the domain of Boz Scaggs in the ’70s. Laid out with lots of old-fashioned organ notes, “Don’t Let The Green Grass Fool You” is potent in an easy-listening-soul environment. This is mindful to ears as old as mine of Jerry Butler, Chuck Jackson, Deon Jackson (“Love Makes the World Go Round”), & Len Barry (“1-2-3”)

Terry has a cool voice dipped in R&B, surrounded by his vintage tenor sax, & and the band’s antique-sounding guitars. Is it mainstream? Yeah, in 1964 – but that driving drum application certainly elevates it. It’s a good, tight retro-sounding group. Everything old is new again.

With “If a Politician Was a Doctor,” Terry scoops up the vocal tonality of Roy Head, Mitch Ryder & Gary U.S. Bonds. Weaved in a vintage arrangement, & showcased with modern muscle. This is commercially rich, but funky, with its sharp guitars, superb percussion, & stylistic sax." – John Apice

LIVING BLUES (July 2025 #297) writes:
"Veteran singer/saxophonist Terry Hanck whips up a stick-to-your-ribs feast on Grease to Gravy. Co-produced by Hanck and multi-instrumental polymath Chris “Kid” Andersen, the dozen tracks found here encompass a host of blues, soul, and early rock ’n’ roll styles. Hanck brings these sounds together for a listen that is among the year's most pleasurable experiences." – Matt R. Lohr, Living Blues

LA HORA DEL BLUES (Spain) writes:
"GREAT! Terry's aim is to communicate lots of groove and an infectious feeling that comes spontaneously with complete naturality after so many years of career. He manages to give an incredible vitality to his music, thanks to his technique on sax, his well-pitched charismatic voice and his performing energy, that make him be at the same level of artists like Fats Domino, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Lee Allen or King Curtis."

BLUES BYTES (June 2025) writes:
". . . The highlight among highlights on Grease To Gravy is a funkified version of Jimmy Oden's slow blues classic, "Going Down Slow," lasting close to six and a half minutes. But it's so good that you just might wish it was even longer. Soubrand continues to impress with his superb guitar work and Jim Pugh contributes plenty of piano accompaniment... "Pins And Needles" gives me a little bit of a Tex/Mex feel mixed in with this up-tempo blues. In fact, I could imagine Joe King Carrasco doing this song 40 years ago and making it sound just right. Even Jim Pugh's organ playing reminds me of that old Farfisa sound.

We close the album with still another diverse sound as Hanck takes us to an island (Jamaica, perhaps?) on "Midnight on The Reef," an instrumental with a distinct backbeat. JP Soars shows up with a very nice subtle guitar solo. And is that a steel drum sound I'm hearing from Chris Peat? The last two cuts really show the diversity of this very fine album, confirming that Hanck has delivered an outstanding album with Grease To Gravy. I can't stop saying good things about it. Pick it up or download it now. You won't be sorry." – Bill Mitchell

BMAN'S BLUES REPORT (June 2025) writes:
". . . it really swings. Opening with Wilson Pickett's Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You, Terry Hanck has got another hot one on the griddle. Singing and playing tenor sax, Hanck has great feel, backed by Kid Andersen who is everybody's not so secret weapon on guitar, Jim Pugh on B3, and Jon Otis on drums. ... One of my favorite tracks on the release is Hanck original Run Run Baby with great lead vocals, solo and underlying sax by Hanck, Johnny "Cat" Soubrand again really playing excellent lead guitar, Andersen on bass, Pugh on B3 and Jon Otis on drums."

All About Blues Music writes:
"Grease to Gravy isn’t just an album for blues aficionados; it’s for anyone craving music that grooves with sincerity and soul. Terry Hanck reminds us why music matters - not just as entertainment but as a connective force that bridges time, places, and people. Listening to this album is like digging into a home-cooked meal; every flavour, every nuance, feels deliberate, full of love, and undeniably satisfying. With tracks that roll back the years and yet feel palpably alive in the present, Hanck has put his unmistakable stamp on each note played and sung."

RICK ESTRIN of Rick Estrin & The Nightcats writes:
"Terry Hanck is a first rate, well seasoned, and still in his prime, live performer. A soulful saxophonist with a classy, relaxed intensity, his playing is his own, but in the best way, stylistically reminiscent of past greats like King Curtis, Junior Walker, Red Prysock and Red Holloway. Terry’s singing comes straight from the heart. He writes some poignant songs, some humorous songs, but above all, he writes true songs. And like only a small handful of today’s songwriters, he comes up with material that make me say “Damn! Why didn’t I think of that?!?"

Curt's Blues - Blues. Only. Spoken. Here CURT'S BLUES! writes: "New Orleans swagger, soul’s reflections, blues’ lamentations, rock-n-roll drive, and jazzy sway; yes, they are all superlatively found here! This may very well be Hanck’s finest outing ever. Period."
