"A tapestry of world music"
John Buckman - Magnatune

"This Colorado songwriter crafts an earthy, beautifully hypnotic song with a western flavor. RE: Brother's Touch"
Bryan Klausing - Acoustic Rainbow

"Hopkins has not only been known as a passionate singer-songwriter but also as the operator of KIVA Records, a studio that has pumped out a wide diversity of music - from delicate acoustic sounds and raging rock to Native American drum music and inspirational folk. Hopkins has been a reliably creative engineer and an insightful ear for countless sessions, always searching for what sound best fits the spirit of the moment."
Tim Van Schmidt - fortcollinslife-times

"Americana/folk rock sound... Earthy undertones flow throughout his pieces, creating an old Western ambiance. His poetic lyrics combine with beautiful harmonies and melodies rich with acoustic honesty, transporting listeners to a different time. His hauntingly beautiful, deeply rich voice reminds you of Johnny Cash circa "Hurt." In a world filled with bubbly pop and club remixes, it's refreshing to find honest lyrics presented in a way that makes listeners reflect on themselves."
Crystal Campbell, Lindsay Nichols and Maggie Canty-Shafer - Coloradoan

"Sweet Mystery is a collection of country-tinged folk that leaves the listener longing for the time when music was unapologetically raw and organic. "
