Press Reviews Wylie brings the rich tradition of quality western music to life. I think he’s one of the great young singers who will continue to bring that tradition to an audience. I’m really taken by his singing. There is absolutely no break in his voice when he yodels; it’s just like silk.Bob Whittaker, GM- Grand Ole Opry. He’s the real deal. He loves it, he feels it, he cares about it, and he creates it in a profoundly satisfying way. We’ll hear much more from this very talented young man!Ranger Doug- Riders in the Sky. It’s about as country as you can get. Chet Flippo- Billboard Magazine. Wylie’s ability to cut loose sets him apart from country’s self conscious male stars. David Zimmerman- USA Today. In a word -REAL. Mario Taradell- The Miami Herald. Gustafson is the coolest cowpoke around these parts. Forget everything you hate aboutmodern country, this guy is all old school cool without being a tired period piece.Winda Benedetti- Spokesman Review. When Wylie performed his subtle version of “Cattle Call”, the cool, mainly young crowd became instant traditionalists.Keith Glass- The Australian Country Music Capital News. No doubt about it, Wylie’s a great yodeler. He’s also one of the brightest, most impressive new talents around.Total Country Magazine. In this day seemingly overrun by cookie-cutter sounds and carbon-copy styles, Wylie Gustafson is a welcome one of a kind.Neil Pond- Country America. Boy, does he swing!Mike Greenblatt- Modern Screen’s Country Music
