"Vito's masterful slide work on Soulshaker speaks to his talent and in-demand session stature. It's an album of a dozen originals with Vito handling all vocals and guitar parts as well as bass and keys ... His slide work has a deeper, richer tone than most, as he uses the entire fretboard and his caressing finesse enables him to better convey both melody and piercing runs than other slide players ... His vocals aren't bad either. They certainly don't steal the spotlight from his stellar axe work, but they have the soulful quality you'd expect from a music veteran".
