Hi All!
I was excited to have my 4th album release, “The Crosswinds of Kansas” (2022), get reviewed by both Robert Christgau and Tom Hull in July 2023 and November of 2023, with each giving the album a great review and an “A minus” rating (and resulting in increased CD and Vinyl sales on BandCamp and on my website “Store” page)! I wasn't sure if Tom Hull was aware of my prior releases, so I forwarded a CD copy of my second and third albums, Through These Waves (2017) and Now I'm Free (2019) to him in December 2023 and, just yesterday, I was again pleasantly surprised to learn the he reviewed them both (as well as my 2015 debut album, Just the Same) in the “Old Music” section of his Sunday, January 15, 2024 Tom Hull-On The Web / Music Week reviews Blog!! The “B Plus" rating for my 2015 Debut and the two “A Minus” ratings and great reviews he gave to TTW and NIF were preceded by this lead-up paragraph:
“Also, note that three A- albums this week were in Old Music, but not very old. The tip for the South African record came from Christgau's January CG [Consumers Guide]. The other two came in the mail well after I gave an A- to Bill Scorzari's The Crosswinds of Kansas (again, following up on a Christgau tip). Having the CDs helped, but only because the albums were so good in the first place.”
You can read the full reviews here.
I am so very thankful for these further affirmations of the human connection that I've sought to achieve through my music, and so very grateful for the opportunity to continue to be fully engaged in pursuit of this lifelong dream.
With so much love and gratitude, I thank you all for your support and for being connected here with me in community and music.
Stay tuned for more news to come!
All the best,
Bill S.
