Sounds Like: Praise for Kasey Anderson

"<[i>The Reckoning] delivers on the promise of 2004's Eric Ambel-produced Dead Roses -- and then some. A versatile and confident songwriter and singer, Anderson nails these hard-luck tales with grit and gumption."
No Depression

"[Anderson is] a literate working man’s poet... and songs like “Don’t Look Back” and “For St. Ann’s” are surrealistic, visionary ballads..."
Paste

"[Anderson's] gravelly voice and insightful songwriting lift his down-and-out characters out of the ordinary and into the realm of legend."
The Stranger

"[Anderson] is distilling down his ideas, refining his craft and making exceptional, emotionally taut music."
Miles of Music

"<[i>The Reckoning] is a rough, visceral collection of songs that rip through a personal landscape of love and loss."
The Chicago Sun-Times

"An emerging and fascinating voice..."
Copper Press

"[Anderson] is equally at home with introspective ballads as he is with political dirges..."
The Onion A.V. Club

"[Anderson] is one to watch in the alt.country scene."
Punk Planet

"Anderson's doleful Americana is the melancholy sound of gravel roads and broken-down love."
The San Francisco Examiner

"[Anderson is] one of those extraordinary brands of songwriters that stop and touch the hearts of all Americans and even rouse some to pick up the guitar."
Performer Magazine

"The Reckoning is a masterpiece."
Tone

"Anderson’s ability to write masterful songs of political, romantic, and carefree impressional tones is a skill that remains difficult to rival."
Obscure Sound

"<[i>The Reckoning] is a must-hear...it's full of crackle and buzz..."
The Albany Times Union

"The Reckoning is - quite simply - stunning."
The Portland Tribune

"<[i>The Reckoning is] an album of rare organic beauty..."
The Cascadia Weekly

"[Anderson] is a talent that deserves to be heard."
The Missoula Indpendent

"<[i>The Reckoning] does the rough alt.country sound proud."
Songs:Illinois

***Matt Ryan of The Village Voice listed Dead Roses as the 5 Album of 2004 in the Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.***
