"The music of songwriter Sonofdov makes me feel something different with every listen. The talented musician from New Jersey is able to layer a song with creative arrangements and haunting lyrics that build into something as heartbreaking as it is up lifting". -Ear To The Ground Music 2019 - Ear To the Ground Music
King has always been an artist with something to say and Towers is a wonderful album to listen to while driving. For many people, driving has always served as a means to escape and driving while listening to Sonofdov offers the perfect escape. It also allows you to hear the music as if he’s performing it just for you. Somehow, I get the feeling that’s how King and his songs want it. - New Jersey Stage

Last year, Mount Olive, NJ’s Son Of Dov caught area music consumer’s ears with his impressive Gone To Seed EP which landed in the #3 spot on our Top EPs list of 2013. Now, singer-songwriter Dennis King continues his transformation out of post-punk beginnings to delicate instrumentations.
Latest single “Breathing Fire” follows a steady, haunting acoustic strum structure with a spare tambourine following along in time. King sits longingly at the fire-pit with a distant croon meshing alongside further away harmonies calling out from the darkened woods. -Speak Into My Good Eye - Speak INto My Good Eye

#10 Sonofdov – “Ulysses”
“Hit me where it hurts” sings the natural singer songwriter Son of Dov. Off of his extraordinary EP off the same name, it technically is not a ’16 release. However, I wasn’t able to get my ears around it until recently. Either way, this is a damn good song. Ethereal and atmospheric, it is bound to stay with you long after you play it. His voice is unique and quivers well with the gentle instrumentation. Dennis King, aka Son of Dov is bound to draw much deserved similarities to fellow New Jersey singer Bruce Springsteen. This one belongs on this list for this or any year." Matt Simon-Ear to the Ground Music - Ear to teh Ground
