"****...deep, intense and literary....A masterpiece...If you don't believe, just listen." -Buscadero magazine, Italy "It looked like he came from out of the nowhere, all of a sudden there was this beautiful album The Pull...Who is Kreg Viesselman?" - Heaven magazine, Holland "I turn my head in disbelief when somebody like Kreg Viesselman appears out of the blue...embraced by DJ's and critics alike. The music bizz suddenly seems to make a bit more sense to me!" -by J.B., Insurgent Country " fantastic, raw...expertise within various roots genres...he writes it all down with a poetic strength." Hanx Magazine,(Bart Ebisch) - translation from dutch by Rein Van den Berg "Rarley does a talent so exceptional and unique come along, this man deserves to be heard." - Blues Matters "enchanting simplicity...i really believe him when he sings" - Acoustic magazine "one of the few albums which warrants the listener to hanging onto the artist's every single word..without exception i found every song totally engrossing...Viesselman is an incisive writer who uses dazzling imagery...there are so many highlights it almost seems unfair to spotlight just one" - Maverick magazine "Through ‘The Pull’ Viesselman has created his own small world. A world in which the listener feels comfortable and very much at home. His Blues, Soul, Gospel and Folk are exactly the beacons to bring some light into our grey world." - Frank Ipach www.home-of-rock.de Germany "….outstanding, his voice touched me down deep and his songs are meaningful and melodically brilliant. - Remo Ricaldone, Susa Onda Radio, Italy "...12 fantastic numbers" - Rien van den Berg, Real Roots Café, Holland "…soulful and powerful vocals" - Maurice Dielemans, Kinda Muzik, Holland "(The Pull) can compete for the title ‘Surprise of the Year 2006’… simply a CD which must be heard." - Leo Kattestaart, www.altcountry.nl Holland "…a very fine album and it's one of the best records of 2006!" - Sjaak Sekeris, Real Roots Café, Holland "Great, great music! One of the best albums of the year." - Theo Oldenberg, Alt Country Cooking, Holland "I didn't know him. It is a complete discovery and I am really impressed." - Mike Penard, ISA Radio "This guy is goood. He is writing some great stuff." - Taj Mahal "Viesselman's songs have a sage, hardened pathos that's hardly pretty-boy stuff. It's not exactly what he says, but how he says it, wherein the genuine power lies. He delivers silvery, potent lines that are killer in substance. No disappointment here, Viesselman has a charmed beauty all his own." - Dirty Linen "Stunning" - NetRhythms.co.uk "Viesselman's blue-eyed country-fried soul resides in that special realm that seems to defy the sands of time Viesselman provides the perfect example here for young songwriters who are looking for the high road.Outstanding." - Indie-Music .com "Kreg's superb guitar playing and voice intertwine between each song - on the stand out song 'The Man Without A Care' he is joined by Boubacar Diebate on kora and vocals - the chorus tells us 'your life is unpredictable.. the future is uncertain.' Let's hope Viesselman finds a wider audience for this fine debut."" -Americana UK "A real relief after listening to a stack of releases is this Kreg Viesselman a real storyteller and a pure songwriter. The man writes great songs, it's pure enjoyment!" - RootsTown, Belgium "Elemental songwriting...it's clear that Viesselman knows how to craft moving acoustic music"" - Westword, Denver, Colorado "RevelatoryIn short, Kreg Viesselman is a somewhat gruff voiced singer whose great strength is the ability to craft story songs which combine honest emotions with poetic, yet accessible, language.a damn fine guitarist and harmonica player" - The Green Man Review, Portland, Maine |
