"I turn my head in disbelief when somebody like Kreg Viesselman appears out of the blue...embraced by DJ's and critics alike. The music bizz suddenly seems to make a bit more sense to me!"
-by J.B., Insurgent Country
"Rarley does a talent so exceptional and unique come along, this man deserves to be heard."
- Blues Matters
"enchanting simplicity...i really believe him when he sings"
- Acoustic magazine
"one of the few albums which warrants the listener to hanging onto the artist's every single word..without exception i found every song totally engrossing...Viesselman is an incisive writer who uses dazzling imagery...there are so many highlights it almost seems unfair to spotlight just one"
- Maverick magazine
"Through ‘The Pull’ Viesselman has created his own small world. A world in which the listener feels comfortable and very much at home. His Blues, Soul, Gospel and Folk are exactly the beacons to bring some light into our grey world."
- Frank Ipach www.home-of-rock.de Germany
"…it’s a great record, I’ve been playing it for months."
- Karen Miller, www.themillertellshertale.co.uk UK
"Stunning"
- NetRhythms.co.uk
"Viesselman's blue-eyed country-fried soul resides in that special realm that seems to defy the sands of time Viesselman provides the perfect example here for young songwriters who are looking for the high road.Outstanding."
- Indie-Music.com
"Kreg's superb guitar playing and voice intertwine between each song - on the stand out song 'The Man Without A Care' he is joined by Boubacar Diebate on kora and vocals - the chorus tells us 'your life is unpredictable.. the future is uncertain.' Let's hope Viesselman finds a wider audience for this fine debut.""
