The Pull by Kreg Viesselman

About Me

PURCHASE ON iTUNES : ..
We invited Kreg to record THE PULL at Red Kite Studio, along with his pick of Colorado's finest musicians: John William Davis is an established artist in his own right, with two rave-reviewed CDs on offer, as is bassist Evan Reeves; while Rachael Davis, Liz Barnez, and Danya River, whose scalp-tingling backing vocals are such a feature on this album, are all acclaimed solo artists with fine CDs to their names. There's a finely-balanced soulful economy about the band's playing here, leaving plenty of space for Kreg's beautifully-honed guitar work and, above all, his voice - parched, passionate, and intimate by turns, it's the element that makes this remarkable young artist sound unlike any other in his field. The track listing for the album is:
1. Saturday Night
2. The Pull
3. Sorrow
4. Aileen
5. The Busker
6. Honey Of The Vine
7. The Man Without A Care
8. (Everybody Throws You Away) Louise
9. High Times And Low Times
10. Northstar And The Drinking Gourd
11. Lonely People
12. Shape Croppers

"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

"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."" -Americana UK
