New York Town reviews


Maverick magazine (September 2009)
". . . Gripka actually comes across like the lovechild of John Fogerty and Eddie Hinton. Put another way, he has soul and passion and a voice that sounds like his words are being ripped out of him as much as sung. . . . The album is printed as an LP, the booklet and digipak are sepia-hued and distressed which, while admittedly a marketing ploy, points up his connection with both his roots and those who came before him. With writing this good and the intensity he brings to his performance, it's unlikely to be long before those who will come after are citing him as an influence."
Penny Black Music UK (2009)
"It’s almost impossible to take one song as a prime example of just how good Gripka is. Each and every one of these twelve songs is a minor classic, a timeless piece of music with soulful vocals wrapped inside tunes that will never leave you. One gets the sneaking suspicion that on the closing ballad, ‘Beautiful’ where Gripka’s vocals are accompanied only by piano and vibraphone, that we are hearing the real Gripka for the first time ; all those Fogerty and Adams comparisons are fruitless here, the sound is pure Gripka, raw, stripped bare, and vulnerable but still bearing one of his striking melodies."
Lonesome Highway (Summer 2009)
"This album has been in heavy rotation on my CD player since I opened the package. These are literate abstract songs from a singer/songwriter who fits the tradition of the troubled troubadour. . . . Gripka uses a template of guitar, bass, drums and organ/piano overlays with added touches of pedal steel to create some magic of his own. He has a strong, weary-toned but hopeful voice and his songs tell of trial and tribulation that are at times tall and at others intangible but never less than touchable."
No Depression (2 May 2009)
"The albums full of quality songs, well written and well played, earthy roots rock with a powerful vocal the album has become an instant favourite of mine. The opening track "Evening" is themed americana a four minute soundtrack of a guys attempts to earn an honest living despite constant turns of bad-luck, he battles on before the inevitable....."

Hey bud, long time no talk. I bought your CD off of iTunes and I've been telling my friends about it. If you ever head toward Texas, I totally want to come. It would be fun to talk about our days in the Oakdale Junior High choir. LoL. Keep up the good work!
