Nudie

“A relaxed vocal style that grabs your attention with understated confidence... Nudie writes in the many shades of anguish that anticipate and result from broken hearts” – No Depression

"Unmistakable vocal delivery and lyrical style." – AmericanaUK

“One of the best of the new crop of country purists. A gem that blends all the classic sounds of real country music, but never feels old and out of fashion.” – CBC’s Bob Mersereau

“When someone recommends an album to you and calls it a mixture of Chris Isaak and Dwight Yoakham, you sit down, shut up and listen.” – The Coast, Halifax

"Lyrically sublime songs" - Roctober
"His songwriting is strong, the arrangements tasteful, the performances tight." - Stylus Magazine

"This was the first album of 2014 that I fell for. Nudie combines the driest of wits with good old, dirt-kickin' country. If you missed it the first time spin it now." - Adobe & Teardrops
