"This singer-songwriter debuts with a jaw-dropping set of beautifully crafted country-folk...his melodies are often sublime, reminiscent at times of early Dylan. The warm, rich production is also flat-out gorgeous...stunning, fully-realized songs...mind-blowing."

"9 stars out of 10! Kanzler writes beautifully understated tunes...sounding like a cross between a more grizzled Ryan Adams and Johnny Hickman...a classic."
