National Guitar Flatpicking Champion
"There
is pure poetry in his lyrics - they are deeply personal but also universal.
He has a natural gift for emotional virtuosity. His singing starts at
the heart and beams out from there. And the playing is impeccable. This
is a CD I will cherish for more reasons than one. (Jack Reilly - composer,
pianist, recording artist)
"I
can't argue with a voice that's sort of Jackson Browne, sort of Gordon
Lightfoot, sort of Dan Fogelburg. I wanted to follow that voice everywhere
and it took me to some mystical places
..Troxel can sail you away
on a memory. He can whirl you across the floor. There's energy in his
guitar playing that seems fueled by the sheer love of music. I'm lucky
I got to hear this one." (Jennifer Layton - indiemusic.com)
"Jeff
Troxel plays guitar with a warm virtuosity that shows no trace of a
virtuoso's self-consciousness." (Steve Klingaman - Minor 7th Magazine)
"Jeff's
compositions show that he is much more than just a good picker."
(Cadence Magazine)
"Jeff
Troxel is a wonderful guitar player with an incredible ear and an ability
to pick up music quicker than anyone I know. He's a true artist."
(John Herrmann - singer/songwriter, recording artist)
"Jeff
is a sensitive and lyrical composer." (Shelton Berg, head of jazz
studies, University of Southern California)
"Jeff
is possessed of wonderful technical skills and a refined sensibility,
without pretense." (Chuck Hassler, Powell Tribune)
