THE CROSSES (2006)
“…a dust-choked collection cut from the same cloth as Springsteen's Nebraska… there's beauty in Hisaw's desolate lyrics, weary vocals and tastefully restrained fretwork, too, and it's a beauty born out of a real pride of place. As bleak as the landscape is in these songs, Hisaw's not singing about hell; he's singing about home.” Richard Skanse- Texas Music Magazine
Includes: Peggy,Borrow, Take Care of Yourself,Girl Who Never Smiled,Every Sunday,Here With Me,Run,Silence,Right Now,Wasted My Time, Back Porch Light and a cover of Taj Mahal's Farther On Down The Road.
ANOTHER GREAT DREAM OF YOU (2004)
"Many people, including millionaire rock stars, write about working class life, but Hisaw has an edge on all of them, authenticity. This is powerful stuff."
John Conquest-Third Coast Music
Includes: Out On The Highway, Another Great Dream of You, Kindness, Thing About Trains and Gypsy Davy.
NEVER COULD WALK THE LINE(2002)
"This very fine roots rock record, the second solo CD from the lead guitarist of country rock band Blue Diamond Shine …he pulled in great musicians like Ron Flynt (bass and various keyboards) and Scrappy Jud Newcomb (guitar) to add some different textures. Hisaw's talent and ability to contribute something special to each of his musical projects says a lot for his future. The talk around alt.country circles always references the names Tweedy, Louris, Adams and Farrar. Give it a few years and you'll probably hear the name Hisaw right in there with them." Scott Homewood-Freight Train Boogie
Includes: Maybe the Devil, Garage Sale, What It Means To be Free, Something Good To Say, Ain't How It Was, First Time Again, Never Could Walk The Line, Ramblin' Blues, Danced With The Prettiest Girl,I Don't Wanna Work , Too Damn Pretty, Under the Moonlight.
THING ABOUT TRAINS (2000)
Eric Hisaw has a voice like that sparse part of the world extending from West Texas westward through his hometown of Las Cruces, N.M. through Arizona. This is a solid country-folk album from somebody who's also wandered through rock 'n' roll. The album is basically an acoustic-sounding guitar-bass-and-drums collection appropriate to the sense of time and space, the feel of highways and wide-open, sparse landscapes of that part of the country where beauty has a different face.
Hisaw draws his songs from the sparce mindscapes of longing and regret. He isn't a smooth crooner, but if he were, this album wouldn't work. Hisaw now lives in Austin, Texas, and a handful of Austin musicians fill in from song to song. Ponty Bone's accordion builds on that feeling on "Big Brother," "Speaking with No Grace," and "Thanks to You." Champ Hood's fiddle and David Lanham's lap steel haunt "Go to Sleep." Cody Braun's fiddle shines on "Down the Road" This is one more reminder of how much talent there is in the "wastelands" outside the commercial boundaries of Nashville, New York, and Los Angeles. Tom Geddie-Country Standard Time
Includes: Such a Good Night, Big Brother, Don't Any Better, Go To Sleep, Thing About Trains, Down The Road, Speaking With No Grace, Hell On 71, Legend or Loser, Thanks To You.
