"b.b. wolfe's debut album "A.K.A." is a road trip through a landscape of fear, sadness, hope, and triumph. It makes you want to hop a freight train and explore the possiblilites of the world. This is traveling music. Not your typical country album, b.b.'s vocals are a mix between Arlo Guthrie and Bob Dylan. The lyrics are poetic and poignant. They strike a chord with the listener's soul- from the part that feels despair, to the part that still has hope. From the song "Broken Ladder" to "And All" the listener is treated to an album that feels both comfortable and familiar. Like a great work of art, the guitar paints the broad strokes, while the dobro, steel guitar, and harmonica add the details that make this album rich and layered. Reminiscent of country music before it went pop, this is music to live by."
Carrie Smith - South Bend Tribune
"I caught Broken Ladder when I got home and called Al while it was on
to request Suitcase Kid. And once again it broke me down into tears.
You've got the gift. No other local singer songwriter can do what
you do."
quoting John Kennedy of Kennedy's Kitchen

"Security by BB Wolfe was awesome...I could really relate to it..I didn't know whether it made me happy or sad, because it was so true!."
quoting a WVPE 88.1 listener

Songs with meaning...
author: Chloe
This is not a slick produced disc with smooth edges and fancy arrangements and that is what makes the material so meaningly powerful. This is a disc, as JoHn Kennedy said in his review, that causes you to stop what your doing and listen, listen to the words while the music serves as a backdrop. These are songs of humanity and the condition that it sometimes finds itself in. I would encourage anyone to have a copy of their own.

He had a great Christmas
author: ddddakota
After hearing some a couple clips on public radio, my boyfriend was very intent on finding this recording. Luckily he doesn't have internet. I gave it to hom for Chrismas and he put it right in the player. He loves it. B.B.'s voice reminds him of early John Prine. Thanks for making me look good.
