What Jeff Beck did with his whammy bar, Rick Vito does with his metal on strings. His tunings and tones fluctuate from a waterfall of notes that cascade over and under the supporting instruments to single string jabs that punctuate an emotion. He's as lyrical in statements as Derek Trucks and as bluesy as Bonnie Raitt." 
- Art Tipaldi, Blues Music Magazine

"My favorite Blues guitarist and vocalist… the real deal." - Steve Miller 

“His slide work has a deeper, richer tone than most, as he uses the entire fretboard and his caressing finesse enables him to better convey both melody and piercing runs than other slide players ... Vito’s playing is transportive. It can take you to another place—go there and explore.” -Jim Hynes, Elmore Magazine
