“From where I sit, Carl’s music has it all. His songs are honest and expertly crafted, with a straightforward simplicity that weaves effortlessly into folk, Americana, and classic songwriter genres. To me, his style evokes the best of John Prine, Mark Knopfler, Jackson C. Frank, and Dave Van Ronk, with stories as rich as they are insightful. This folk DJ appreciates music rooted in human experience and communicated plainly to strangers with willing hearts. I’m grateful for artists like Carl who put everything of themselves in their composition, but with the listener in mind.” — Jenny Inzerillo, High Plains Public Radio .
