Dennis Victor Allen: Press

"Red Skin Indian Dirt Road Reservation Blues, brings a uniquely northern perspective to the common blues theme of crushing poverty and social oppression."
Tristen Hopper - Yukon News (2009)
Dennis Victor Allen's Country: Powerful, Pure And Simple
Get Right with Jesus. This is one of those great tunes that takes its cues from bluegrass and gospel. It sounds like it could have been written for a depression-era tent revival. The song is a toe tapper to be sure as the lyrics ask you to “Get right with Jesus if you know what I’m sayin’ / Get right with Jesus and commencify to prayin’”.
Bill Polosky - What's Up Yukon
Throw all that music into a pot and stew it for twenty years and you get the sound of Dennis Victor Allen, lost son of C&W, long lost brother of the blues. His debut album, "Wayward Son," has been eating up the charts across the country as he makes his first NACC appearance with the Mackenzie Delta blues.
Ben Nind - Northern Arts & Cultural Centre (2009)
"Dennis was one of the highlights at the Dawson City Music Festival. A true
northern frontier songwriter!"
Tim Hus - Stony Plain Records Recording Artist (2011)
"Dennis Allen addresses songwriting with a sly wit and insightful mind. His warmth and dry humour charms an audience."
