Press Reviews MUSICIAN: "...a haunting, spare set of recollections that recall Robert Johnson in their stark intensity and Hank Williams in their country simplicity." ACOUSTIC GUITAR: "Vince Bell is not your typical Texas singer-songwriter. His music is more art song than folk song, more Jacques Brel than Woody Guthrie...He's easier to compare to David Crosby or Joni Mitchell than to Willie or Waylon." MUSIC REVIEW QUARTERLY "...an excellent piece of roots music that easily equals the best works of those other noted names [Lyle, Nanci, Townes, Guy ]. In fact, Vince Bell takes a considerable jump on each of those because he is more willing to experiment with sound...The subtle but intriguing mixture of sounds wouldn't matter if it weren't attaching itself to solid songs, and these are solid....long on staying power." JIM MUSSER, Writer for Iowa City Press-Citizen, No Depression, CDNOW.com "Bell's music, while hauntingly beautiful, nevertheless creates an inescapable tension with his audience; there is an ever-present fear of falling which makes the listener lean into Vince's songs, to urge them on while holding one's breath. This is truly a magical thing--it is show business, and it is dangerous."
