Hanx Magazine Review
Kreg Viesselman gives an exceptional little extra, a part that is poorly missed by several of his colleagues, which is his fantastic, raw, sandpaper voice that allows him to expertise within various roots genres. Blues, Folk, soul, the in Oslo living American, highlights it all on his third CD, that very likely could become his final breakthrough. Not that the large audiences will be reached, but he definitely will be heard on the better known roots festivals. I personally fall for the characteristic listening songs in a country/folk mood, such as the accordion brought ear lavishing "Honey of the Vine" and the with violin dramatized (Everybody throws you away) Louise, and the fruity "High Times & Low Times, in which the tempo goes up. Also not to be missed is the soul monument Lonely People which is be accelerated with piano and sharp guitar playing. The piano is not heard all the time, only when needed. Same goes for the extra juice in the shape of a mini-choir existing of Rachael Davis, Liz Barnez & Danya River. Viesselman was in his "previous lives" sailor, guide in the mountains, and teacher, experiences that he all hides in his songs about people with loneliness, and love as carrying topics. That's another talent he possesses; he all writes it
down with a poetic strength.
