The Musician – review of Cycling in Stilettos - Summer 2011  
Pithy observations of capital life
Lead vocalist for The Easy Tigers, Hercules’ second solo album builds on her reputation for entertaining, amusing slices of London life dipped in soul, reggae and pop/folk.  Touchingly self-deprecating on the first track Skinny Bitch, she is also equally capable of pertinent comments upon performers in the news (Back to Crack) and on shimmering rock’n’roll ballads such as Don’t Go Ronnie!, she exudes an enduring warmth and appeal.  Supported by Mickey Simmonds (keyboards), Roy Dodds (drums) and a team of extremely able artists, Hercules picks you up, dusts you down, gives some words of encouragement and sets you on your way with a tune in your head and joy in your heart.
-Keith Ames

Other highlights included a version of Stand by Your Man, sang with the help of a slinky singer called Abi (Hercules) who looked like Catherine Zeta Jones and had a voice as powerful as Gloria Gaynor's.

GUITAR & BASS REVIEW - 2008
Propelled by the songwriting, voice and mandolin of Abigail Hercules, The Easy Tigers deliver excellent modern acoustic music. Americana, jazz and country have a stronger influence than English folk; bouzouki, dobro and double bass contribute to interesting arrangements, and subtle acoustic guitars are well placed. Hercules’ storytelling and delivery suggests that Joni Mitchell may have been a formative influence, but the songs feel original and personal. Major labels spend a lot of cash promoting lesser acts – so take a listen.

THE LATE GREATS REVIEW - 11.3.08
Her music is as delightful and playful as she is.

THE EASY TIGERS
Breathe The Life Of Strangers
The Tigers are an acoustic group built around the artistic talents of West London star in the making Abi Hercules, who specialise in soulful, jazz influenced and light-hearted songs. Sporting mandolin and bouzouki, Abi could easily
become the next fixture in the mainstream firmament.
