Gig Guide, by Dan Malley
"This country-rock band from Athens might be taking its motto of "beer-drinkin' gospel" a little too seriously.  These honky-tonk evangelists promise to baptize a youngster during tonight's show.  Think twice, mama.  Don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys or Hookers.  These guys pass around a bottle of Jack Daniels during shows and sing tunes like "I'd Rather Two-Step than 12-Step."  This will be the Hookers' fourth gig in Macon in as many months.  The locals are beginning to see the light - through bloodshot eyes."

"This is one of our favorite bands that come through Macon.  Beer drinking gospel, good time religion, locking jaws with traditional country, rock and roll.  You'd expect them to come riding up in a '57 Chevy, with old amps, pedal steels and nearly rotten boots.  They can create a whiskey slinging, dancing, throw your hat on the floor and stomp on it kind of party within minutes of arriving too."

Georgia Boys Gone Wild, by Maggie Large
"Pretty much all you need to know about The Bearfoot Hookers is that they are the kind of band that passes around a bottle of Jack Daniels during their show.  If bar bands were on one side of the railroad tracks and honky-tonks were on the other, the Hookers would be the hobos inside the freight train boxcar."

Review of Life at the Bar, by Michael Andrews
"The Bearfoot Hookers are becoming the little bar band that could... [playing] country-influenced rock that harkens back to when the Allmans were young and reckless and "outlaw" was a new, hip way to describe an independent breed of country performer."

It's a good "Life at the Bar" for Hookers
by Brooke Hatfield
"For some hipsters, there is a stigma attached to any act associated with Southern rock. But in this age of irony and emo, four guys who just want to take some shots and take to the stage to play some "beer drinkin' gospel" is revolutionary. And believe me, the Bearfoot Hookers like beer."

Wild, Wooly, Lonesome, and Local, by Michael Andrews
"In fact, if there were a grading scale of what makes a consummate bar band, the Hookers would excel with flying colors."

Bands to Watch in 2005, by Michael Andrews
"On Sweet Pickle Grits, released earlier this year, the Bearfoot Hookers come off as a fiery combination of the Bottle Rockets, Southern-rock-greats Wet Willie and the David Allen Coe "dirty" albums (minus the racism and homophobia, but not the good-natured misogyny). In Athens, terms, the rowdy four-piece recklessly wobbles along with the same torch previously carried by such warts-'n'-all performers as Redneck GReece and the Drive-By Truckers. With an impressive debut under their belt, a consistent performing schedule and the new album Life at the Bar about ready, the Hookers will likely pick up steam in '05. (That is, barring any AA interventions or bizarre religious conversions derailing this whiskey-powered locomotive.)"

On the Record Player, by Carla LeFever
"Ty Manning and his band of merry men have just finished recording at Chase Park and I've got a copy!  This band is full of fun, raunch and roll.  Add a tablespoon of country, a dash of funk, an alligator and a cold beer and you've got the Bearfoot Hookers."
