This is powerful stuff, beautifully performed and exquisitely produced. Quite a find!” - Blair Jackson, Acoustic Guitar Magazine "One of America's best guitar players and a damn good songwriter." - Tom Russell "As good as the songs were on Me Talkin’ to Me , released in 2008, Streets of Disaster is a giant step forward. Seamlessly working in blues, country and contemporary folk styles, Thad’s songwriting – and his fine performances – now seems classic and timeless." - veteran music journalist and broadcaster Mike Regenstreif What others are saying about "Beckman plays an engaging blend of folk, singer-songwriter and blues music. Not everyone can pull off such a combination, but Beckman has chops, writing talent, a big personality and a bag full of true stories which all dovetail for a cool show.” - Jim Beal, San Antonio Express-News "With commanding yet understated vocals as strong as his finger-style and slide guitar playing, Beckman crafts a quietly compelling set." - Tom Hyslop, Blues Review “A splendid player and a more than able vocalist -doing some of the smartest finger-picking you could wish for.” - Maurice Hope, The Northern Echo “, first class picker” – British Country Music Web Site “If you have never heard Mr. Beckman play, you have really been missing out. Anyone in the audience could instantly recognize Mr. Beckman as a master of his craft.” - No Depression “ goes a long way to assuage guitar thirst on the stunning “Guadalupe,” one of many that hold up with Russell’s best.” - Celine Keating, Acoustic Guitar “A finely-honed bluesy voice to go along with his finger picking talents.” - Rod Williams – LMA Street Team Member “With a voice that rasps like shoe leather on roadside gravel, and a finger-picked guitar on which notes fly by like railroad ties under a fast moving freight, not to mention a long history of vagabonding behind him, seems ideally suited to the wandering troubadour's tradition.” - John T.
