“...the voice of singer-songwriter Sami Rouissi dressing the music with his vocals. The man is blessed with a tone so smooth you could pour it into a glass and have seconds.”
​
“Sami is like Ben Harper, Tracy Chapman, David Gray, Jimi Hendrix, and Marvin Gay emerged into one person”

“I recently looked up information on Sami after hearing him. I was blown away when I stumbled in and heard him playing. Has the best voice, and flat-out can play. Very original and although he did play a few cover songs, they were far superior to the original. The best acoustic performer I have seen to date.”
