Praise for Dan Hill’s book I Am My Father’s Son:
"Inevitably, Hill's musical sensibility infuses his prose. . . . The story has a musical pulse and an exactness of comedic timing. Like his father and brother . . . Hill possesses the gift of storytelling, in the broad, oral, African-American tradition." --Ottawa Citizen
"Took me on an intellectual, emotional and spiritual pilgrimage that instantly changed my life forever. . . . Dan Hill is my hero. His compassion, fearlessness and resilience reignited a flame in me that was almost dim. Thank you for the laughs, thank you for the tears, and thank you for your moments." --Jully Black
"Describes a complicated family, in a complicated situation, in a complicated time, and does it with honesty and verve." “[I Am My Father’s Son] jolts us, like hearing a soon-to-be-classic song for the first time. The book uses the glitz of the 1970s music scene as a backdrop for a soul-searching story of a father and a son --National Post
“A compulsively readable memoir. It is a fine contribution not just to Canadian showbiz lore but to our country’s social history. Dan Hill dishes lots of fascinating backstage gossip… [but] also strikes universal chords.” –Winnipeg Free Press
[Dan Hill’s] raw memoir, I Am My Father’s Son, [is] a searing examination of his relationship with Daniel Grafton Hill III”-- Toronto Star
Media’s comments on Dan Hill’s CD Intimate:
“…I’ve been to a lot of concerts, and a few of them I consider to be the best from start to finish — my own hall of fame entries — and this one by Dan Hill is one of them. I don’t think I’ve been to an event that was as moving as that was. Dan’s voice seems not to have aged. It was just spectacular, and it’s too bad there was room for 500 more people in the Opera House.”
- John Swartz, Orillia Packet and Times
“This album has to be the album of the year 2010, and according to Atlantic Seabreeze, the album is a masterpiece, with many awards in the making. The music and Dan's great voice are simply outstanding and make one play the CD over and over again. According to Dan, it took 15 years to write the songs on the CD, and most of them were penned for other artists, and he had no inkling that one day he would be recording these songs. He states, that's the great thing about music never know where it may lead you”, www.atlanticseabreeze.com
