British music and poetry magazine. The review also ran in The Doughnut.

So what do you do with a phenomenon like Eron Falbo?… This is Falbo’s genius as a songwriter. He knows his 60s and 70s genres extremely well but is a creative giant who can use this to make something uniquely his own… It’s a great debut and well worth indulging in. Eron Falbo is certainly assured of a bright future even as he looks into the past.

Music magazine, New York

Independent music magazine founded by Jack Rabid in 1980.

He is such an exciting musician, it was enough to grab the attention of famed-Dylan producer Bob Johnston and bring him out of retirement to produce this record… at the core and center of this album is Falbo’s clearly definable personality… There’s so much life and excitement in this album, it’s almost impossible not to love… It’s a captivating record, if merely for the question of what great things are undoubtedly in store for Falbo.

A promise from Brasília in the musical heartland… In 2009 the veteran producer came out of retirement to work on the record 73, by Eron Falbo… The video for “Beat the Drums”, released in England in 2013, in another bold stroke by the artist, was handled in London by Tony Calder, former manager of the Rolling Stones at the height of their fame. The video, which made an impression on YouTube, won best release of the week on the prestigious BBC radio. Which is no small thing… Eron Falbo should give people plenty to talk about in 2014.

The show is really good... It is great to see the operation, to see your daily dedication... the care your team took to send an audio kit so the sound would hold up, the effort of broadcasting on three platforms at once, the curve you made to get out of the live format and into this talk show structure... You are building yourself a more and more comfortable structure so that you can step into discomfort. Finding the balance, the imbalance, the comfort inside the discomfort. I think that is what holds an audience. In that sense, I think you have grown enormously.

Falbo fashions himself in the ‘Poets of Rock n’ Roll’ lineage and does a fantastic job conjuring up the same kind of lyrical magic that made ’60s rock so memorable… Falbo makes his case as a viable torch-bearer in the tradition of Johnston’s previous muses… Like his heroes, Falbo obviously has the modern gift of turning a phrase, while often leaning farther into the past for inspiration.

Tony Kosinec

Singer-songwriter and producer

Canadian singer-songwriter signed to Columbia in 1969. His second album was produced by Peter Asher, of James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt. He worked on 73 alongside Bob Johnston.

Eron recreated the path walked by excellent singers and songwriters at the end of the 1960s and through the 1970s. He seems to have remade the trail of someone who could have been a superstar in that time.
Pisces, on 73
Original (Portuguese)

Eron recriou o caminho trilhado por excelentes cantores e compositores no fim dos anos 1960 e no decorrer dos anos 1970. Ele parece ter refeito a trilha de alguém que poderia ter sido um superstar naquele tempo.

Então eu acho que o programa que você faz, um programa de entrevista, de bate-papo, está justamente nisso que você falou, das pessoas quererem ver boas conversas de pessoas inteligentes.

As an interviewer, your memory must be pretty sharp, you know how to circle back to questions... or maybe your production team helps you out.

Tá bom, como entrevistador, a sua memória deve ser melhor, você sabe voltar nas perguntas. Ou a sua produção te ajuda, mas...

I knew I was about to meet someone really cool, I saw your Instagram, the sheer number of things you do... but I had no idea you were a musician this whole time, that's on me. The first thing I'm doing the moment this drink is over is looking up your music, is it on Spotify?

Original (Portuguese)

eu sabia que eu ia estar encontrando alguém muito bacana, e eu vi o seu Instagram, a sua quantidade de coisas que você faz. Mas eu não sabia... eu tô falando isso tudo porque eu não sabia que você era músico esse tempo todo, né? Essa é a minha grande falha... a primeira coisa que eu vou fazer terminando esse drink é... As suas músicas estão... Aonde que eu ouço? Elas estão no Spotify?
