"...Woosley at his best combines the roots rock of Wilco and the lo-fi hooks of Guided By Voices to create a tasty stew."

THE OTHER PAPER
"...a fascinating portrait of an artist--without being pretentious or stupid...folks with a penchant for the slightly off-kilter ought to search this one out."
JON WORLEY
AIDING & ABETTING
Woosley band's front man and namesake brings you his first solo effort, packed full of off-kilter lyrics and abstract ramblings.
"Drifting Like a Seawreck"(featured on MAGNET MAGAZINE's New Music sampler #61), is the only song yet released from Woosley's mock-opera QUIET BOY; a musical comedy about a young Amish boy coming of age in the late 80s in Northeastern Ohio.

Not to jump to comparisons, but fans of early Beck will enjoy this album quite a bit. As for me, it should tide me over until the next true Woosley Band album.
