Album Notes

"Black Top Road" is an essential album...a classic from the Alaskan wilderness..9 out of 10 stars!!" Dan Wilkinson - AmericanaUK

"Brilliant!" John Richards, John in the Morning, KEXP FM Seattle

--------------

"This Seattle-born, Alaska-based singer-songwriter debuts with a jaw-dropping set of beautifully crafted country-folk. Kanzler has a fine, expressive voice with a touch of gravel and his melodies are often sublime, reminiscent at times of early Dylan. The warm, rich production is also flat-out gorgeous, with trumpets, mandolin, dobro, pedal steel and harmonica adding lots of rootsy color to a variety of stunning, fully-realized songs. Incredibly, Kanzler has been living in the woods of the Alaskan interior for the past few years in a cabin with no running water and recorded this album up there with locals – it’s just mind-blowing, considering how great it sounds."

Don Yates - Music Director, KEXP 90.3 FM Seattle
