Germany concert review:
"... Power and great professionalism on the electric guitar are what the American Rick Derman has to offer, and his voice unites everything that is good in the genre of rock - penetrating and convincing with soft ballads, smoky-soft with blues and powerfully dynamic with rock pieces. "
