"Nathan Holscher's brilliance is in his storytelling with a CD full of rich characters who have some issues. There are road songs, love songs and plenty of soul searching. There is lots of yearning, restless hearts and pleading for personal identity in Holscher's writing. His husky, whispering voice sets the perfect storytelling mood for these often haunting tales.- Cincinnati Enquirer, October, 2009
"Working in the medium of acoustic Folk, yet transcending it within his smoky songwriting, Holscher paints vivid pictures within his songs, which are emotionally direct in their storytelling but spectral and airy in their sonic construction. Working with local Grammy-nominated producer Ric Hordinski, Holscher has created an album of dark Americana, falling somewhere between the spaciousness of Joe Henry and the lithe Pop of Damien Rice. . . with Holscher giving voice to those deepest, saddest emotions all of us have. Only he has the talent to turn them into pure poetry." -City Beat, September, 2007
"Scarred, torn and twisted lives scream an emotional fragility that's superbly at odds with the strength of the songwriting. The world-weary sense of despair is evidence of an astonishing maturity, as Holscher fashions scenes from far beyond his mere 25 years. 9 OUT OF 10 STARS"- Whisperin and Hollerin (Ireland), March, 2008
"Holscher is going to appeal to a lot of people: he can sing, writes in a classical way without resorting to retro stylings; he'll be on my menu for sometime to come."- Americana UK
