Singer, songwriter and guitarist, Bob Lanza, spent years with Floyd Phillips and the Mudflaps, and backed legends like James Cotton to prepare his audition as a new
blues guitar hero. His 2016 release, Time To Let Go, is a compelling mix of originals and covers with an emotional story of heartbreak and perseverance. The album maintained its ranking in the top 10 of the Billboard Blues charts for weeks. "Bob Lanza hails from north New Jersey, and is one of the most prolific artists in the Connor Ray Music stable of artists," said Sheryl and Don Crow of the Nashville Blues Society. "Hard-hitting, guitar-driven blues is his forte, and, man, does he show up and show out on his latest set, Kids, Dogs, And Krazy Women." |

Washington Blues Society review of

"Bob Lanza truly is one of the great blues rock guitarists out there, and certainly one of the most criminally overlooked. His fifth album, a considerately woven collection of originals and covers, is a sharp, intelligent and emotionally powerful splice of soul, blues and roots music."
- The Rocktologist, review of Kids, Dogs & Krazy Women
"Albums like this one was the reason why I once fell in love with the blues. This is a reminder from a time when a man and a guitar were The Thing."
- Blues News Finland, review of Kids, Dogs & Krazy Women
"This is basically a dynamic live set captured in the studio. The songs are of secondary importance to the chemistry of several really fine musicians getting their mojo on."
- Don Wilcock, Blues Music Magazine, review of Kids, Dogs, and Krazy Women
"His mix of covers and originals is what sweaty, gritty, down-home blues is about — a pulsating, uptempo, rock-infused free spirit tempered by arrangements that are just sophisticated enough to be both fascinating yet pleasantly rough around the edges."
- Tom Henry, Toledo Blade, review of Kids, Dogs & Krazy Women
"Lanza has made a solid blues album and look at his clothes – he’s not quitting his night job anytime soon, so we may as well indulge him. It’s the right thing to do."
