    Artist History
    After years of evolving their sound and numerous attempts to find that right balance between a catchy rock tune and a musical saga, Wooster Sang finally got it right...they played what felt best to them. In some ways, one could argue that the current CD is a tribute to them and their quest to discover themselves. Interestingly along the way, WS even experimented with an acoustic set to get back to the basics of improvisation without all the fancy equipment. Crowds responded well and WS began to slowly re-electrify their sound to what it is today. However, before this experiment could take place, there was a long journey that they had to take. It spanned many years and brought together some outstanding musicians and friends who left their mark and influence on WS.

    Press Reviews
    Well-crafted pop rock songs and exciting musicianship. --Vernon Reid, guitarist and solo artist, formerly of Living Colour................. From the opening guitar chord of 'Make You Mine' right through to the final chords of 'Overlake' (some fifty minutes later) I was hooked by the Wooster Sang sound. This is a debut album that many a major rock band would be proud to have produced (and shame on the major labels for not having signed them!). -- Angus Nurse, February 1999 Independent Distribution Network................. The Wooster Sang website is a cut above most band sites, loaded with information for the new or seasoned fan, a straightforward navigation organization, snappy graphics and media galore. Up and coming artists could learn a thing or two from these guys, who show just how the web can level the playing field with a well built site that becomes the focus of a worldwide promotional effort. -- Music Scene.com................. I know it's the music that counts, but I simply must say that Wooster Sang puts out a most impressive press kit. One listen to their CD, and it becomes obvious that the New York City-based quartet has invested equally as much time into crafting their songs as in printing their promotional material. The music is written to seduce you and it works on many levels. With hints of blues and jazz, their self-titled debut album is one grooving pop rock tune after another. I found myself liking the CD more with each listen, perhaps because Wooster Sang's complex songwriting is reminiscent of early Lenny Kravitz Ð- and this is meant as a compliment... a strong one.-- Cook Young, December 1998 NY Rock Street Beat................. Just songs which move along nicely, with some kick ass organ and guitar work. I'm very impressed. I read the press package; slick. That's how you get the big deal and Wooster Sang has a big enough sound to get some real buckage that way.-- Jon Worley Aiding & Abetting Online Magazine
