"Krekel's A VETERAN NASHVILLE SONGWRITER but though he's penned a hit for Patty Loveless and worked with Jimmy Buffett, left on his own he's never
been anything but AN R&B-DRENCHED ROCKER. [HIS] SONGS AND PERFORMANCES ARE
BOTH ON FIRE."
--Dave Marsh, Rock & Rap Confidential
"[Tim Krekel's music] narrowly edges out the SUAVE WORLD-WEARY COUNTRY-SOUL
of Nick Lowe's At My Age."
--Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer
"As a performer, he is straight out of the roadhouse, singing in a gruff
voice, tearing off STINGING GUITAR SOLOS, and playing GUTBUCKET BLUES-ROCK."
--AllMusic.com
"TWANGY, SOULFUL SONGS as smart as they are catchy."
--No Depression Magazine
"While THE SONGS ARE REALLY THE THING here, Krekel supplies plenty of
guitar. Hello Baby has Chuck Berry-style playing. Slide guitar highlights
I Love Everybody and I Can't Help Myself, and acoustic is mixed with
electric on ŒBe With You, a soulful song of yearning that also features a
FABULOUS VOCAL from Krekel. This is TRULY A HIDDEN TREASURE."
--John Heidt, Vintage Guitar Review
"Tim Krekel is one of American Rock n Roll's great unknowns."
--CD Review Magazine
"Tim Krekel is the BEST GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD."
-- John Belushi
