Album Of The Week

"Det här är en en härlig mix av rock, americana och lite blues, dessutom framförs det med harmoni, god sång och ypperligt gitarrspel från huvudobjektet själv. Alltså 12 mycket tilltalande låtar, där jag sätter titellåten, som en av de klart finaste, dock i stark konkurrens med 'When The Lights Go Out', där även David Crosby förgyller med sin otroligt vackra röst."

- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -

"Steve Postells låtar har en mjuk soft rock känsla, med lite av country som figurerar i ton-landskapet. Fina och träffsäkra texter som här får liv i de gestaltningar som Steve Postell ger oss lyssnare. Steve Postell är för min del en ny artist som här ger, utan tvekan, mersmak av en musikalisk konstnär och storyteller."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Steve Postell’s journey has taken him from music conservatory to Broadway shows, to composing music for film, television and ballet, to rock’n’roll tours and years as a studio musician. But his 1st passion has always been songwriting, and he is thrilled to be introducing 12 new songs on this new Quarto Valley Records release."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"Steve Postell says in the liner notes of his new album that 'In a world of singles, I still love the idea of a record. I still love creating a body of work that represents a time of life and a point of view'. A quite superb album in every way, and one of my favourites for the current year."

- Paul McGee / Lonesome Highway -

"Each song has a few more individual characteristics due to the participation of different musicians, but in the end the overall result is as if from a single source. Sometimes it rocks a little more, then again typical singer songwriter elements push themselves into the foreground, or a gentle groove radiates a special feeling. And the songs are wonderfully professional and on top of that, they all radiate a lot of feeling, you can feel how the musicians went to work with passion. And that's exactly what you can feel, because not only a spark jumps over during the quite relaxed listening pleasure."

- Wolfgang Giese / Musik An Sich -

"On his website, Steve Postell describes the Katonah recording studio in Los Angeles as his own version of Muscle Shoals. That this is not just an empty remark, he underlines it with 'Walking Through These Blues'. This record with twelve songs by Postell deserves a recommendation for fans of all that great music from Laurel Canyon."

- John Gjaltema / Alt Country NL -

"These are delicious, gentle, timeless songs, which will appeal to you, for example, if you are a fan of James Taylor, whose 'Sweet Baby James' was named by Postell a few years ago in his top ten of albums that changed his life."

- Kees van Wee / Heaven Magazine -

"'Walking Through These Blues' is not just an album. It's an emotional and musical journey, with songs that deeply the core of americana rock and roll diving. Postell was not the only one, he collected a remarkable collection of legendary musicians around him to accompany him on this journey, including Glen Phillips, Leland Sklar, Danny Kortchmar, Steve Ferrone, Bekka Bramlett, Russ Kunkel and even the late David Crosby, whose mind and voice in music live on. Crosby's presence on the album is particularly poignant, since Postell was rehearsing with him before Crosby's unexpected death, for an upcoming tour."

- Fred Pach / Muziekwereld -

"Steve Postell's career runs along 'Sky Trails' by David Crosby and an album by Danny Kotchmar on which James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Michael McDonald collaborated. Big names in american music. Postell was also involved in numerous productions of the group Immediate Family and there is a tribute project with a collection of musicians who cover Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young."

- Jaks Schuit / Real Roots Café -

"Steve Postell brings together all his musical experience, life experience, and modern vision to create a captivating album. The way the guitar parts blend together and the guest vocals of Dan Navarro, Jeff Young, Bekka Bramlett, Glen Phillips, David Crosby, Iain Matthews, and many others, mix with his recognizable and still powerful voice, proves that Steve is definitely at the top of his game. Steve is without doubt one of the most iconic singers in the Americana genre."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"This new album features a dozen songs by Steve Postell that are lifted up a bit with the help of an impressive list of guest musicians from Los Angeles. Excellent songs, just as excellently performed by Steve Postell and prominent session people in his Katonah Studios in Marina del Rey."

- Cis van Looy / Written In Music -

"Steve Postell is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer with a prolific career behind him, albeit often carried out behind the scenes, but in contact with musicians of the highest level. He moved to Los Angeles a long time ago, where he recently released this new album with a series of truly incredible guests. David Crosby, Iain Matthews, Steve Ferrone, Bekka Bramlett, Jeff Pevar, Greg Leisz, Bob Glaub and Alphonso Johnson, not to mention the musicians of the band he formed a few years ago, The Immediate Family, which includes legendary session men Danny Kortchmar, Leland Sklar, Waddy Watchel and Russ Kunkel, known as The Section, all of whom are featured on the album."

- Paolo Baiotti / Late For The Sky -

"Steve Postell brings the experience of a songwriter and guitarist who has been attending recording studios for a lifetime and knows what it means to write songs professionally, with the arrangements in the right place and that instrumental quality that makes 'Walking Through These Blues' an album with a strong westcoast accent, inevitable I would say, given the premises, with appreciable blues and americana veins."

- Davide Albini / Roots Highway -
