“the best show of musicianship I've ever seen on The Voice.”

“A power performer who is so legitimate and memorable”

“I think you’re unbelievable – a musician unlike anyone we’ve ever had ... Your voice is so enormous, you don’t even need a microphone”

“(Laith Al-Saadi)... a cross between Danny Gatton and Buddy Guy at their best”

“The fact that REAL was a truly LIVE album is why I love it so, rich and vibrant, perfectly mixed and recorded. “The soulful new album harkens back to the great musical traditions of New Orleans and Chicago with a splash of Blues, Country, Gospel, and Roots Rock and is arguably Al-Saadi’s best work to date. ”
