Hello,
My name is, H. C. Chrest. I am a free-lance music critic currently supplying reviews for “The Audiophile Voice” magazine. I am constantly in the search for cd releases that I would consider worthy of review. I specialize in several musical categories including: traditional bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, new acoustic, progressive bluegrass, folk, and related re-issues of works of historical importance.
Previously, I have been on the writing staffs of Bluegrass Unlimited (3) years, Bluegrass Now (2) years, Precious Memories (2) years, and Acoustic Musician (3) years. Due to this related experience, I feel that I can listen objectively and impartially to your project.
Recently, the Editor of The Audiophile Voice and former 20 year Editor of Audio commented about my reviews, \"Frankly, I think that your writing and your judgments in the musical areas you cover are as good as I\'ve ever seen in the genre, as good as Benjamin Ivry\'s are over there in classical. It is clear to me from your writing AND your choices that you do love the music and get a very large amount of \"happy\" sharing the good stuff.\"
Please note that I refuse all remuneration for my reviews. My sole aim is to let readers become aquainted with these genres. Also, review space is limited and the competition is very intense so if your work is not selected the first time, do not think that it was lacking, just continue to send your latest releases. I will let you know
If you would like for your project to be considered for possible submission, please rush it to my attention. I will personally listen to all CD’s and consider them for possible review. Please include any tear sheets and/or promo packets. This material can make the review more informative and interesting. Also, please feel free to add my name to you permanent mailing list for any future releases.
If you have received a previous request and have not submitted your work, consider this a reminder. If you have previously submited a cd please disregard this request
Thank you and best wishes,
H. C. Chrest
Music Critic
