ALBUM PUBLICITY
Album PR for An American Forrest
"An American Forrest serenades the cows..." -Clara Maurer, NPR Tiny Desk
"...projecting the storms inside our hearts onto the landscape outside." - Rachel Cholst, No Depression
"Van Tuyl’s lyrics are a snappy blend of rugged but self-deprecating cowboy poetry and self-aware but heartfelt indie-Americana." -Gary Whitehouse, The Green Man Review
"this project is super cool." -Robert Dean, Farce The Music
"He tugs long-standing traditions into the 21st century with a durable appreciation for the truth and beauty, his boots kicking up the soil on his travels across the western frontier." -Jason Scott, B-Sides And Badlands
"With an authentic grit to his vocals and subdued instrumentals, Van Tuyl is reminiscent of a young Steve Earle, though, arguably, Van Tuyl outdoes Earle with his heartfelt and melancholy lyrics." -Jasmine Rochelle, Lula 1892
"...adept at blending a wanderer’s stoicism and the playful nature of a good-hearted cowboy." - Neil Ferguson, Glide Magazine
"Van Tuyl and company play with laid-back verve, full of vim and twang, as Van Tuyl, with the grit of his travels in his throat, sings his deeply personal lyrics in a disarming, spirited vocal tone." -The Big Takeover
"‘O Bronder, Donder Yonder’ doesn’t just transport you out into the American wilderness and tell you what it feels like to be there. It also leaves you itching to find out what more musical gems An American Forrest will have in his saddlepack next time he rides in from the Oregon trails." -Alasdair Fotheringham, Americana UK
