Details:
EAR magazine: âA truly unique artist. His ability to mix and transform genres is a pure delight for the ears.â
All Music Guide: âBryan has engaging warmth in his voice. He sounds like a bluegrass singer and not some Buzzcock from the bay areaâ
Pop Culture Press: âThis could be one the years best CDs. âWork Songs of Loveâ is for music lovers. Serious lyrics. Serious guitar/dobro.â
Guitarnation.com: âThoughtful & introspective lyrics that thoroughly engage the listener. Jazz phrasings, bluegrass flatpicking, Dobro, blues, acrobatic rhythm guitar playing - Bryan does it all with a grace & fluidity that is pure poetry.â
Guitar Player magazine: "Bryan Clark has a jazz-funk sensibility akin to Hollywood studio cats like Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, and Steve Lukather. An understated composer with echoes of vintage Pat Metheny, Clark exploits space and timbre in his long, modally tinged, melodic passages."
Daily Texan: âBryan Clark is a rising star to watchâ¦. Carrying the torch for the new generation of Texas singer songwritersâ
Listen.Com: "Bryan's influences are wide ranging to say the least. Classical meets improvisation here with no genre (inc. rock and bluegrass) left unexplored."
