THE WIND CRIES MARY
latest CD recording
"(The Wind Cries Mary) cements Dolce's reputation
as one of the country's premier songwriters. . .
the words fit together like a perfect puzzle . ."
Rhythms Mazagine
" . . . one hell of a bluesman . . . Dolce's guitar work is deceptively complex,
weaving in and out of lyrical matter
that is often a ball of complexity itself . ." XPress
" Unforgettable appearance. It is certainly the best act I have had on the concert bill
in four years of organising the event... people in town are still talking about it."
