CD REVIEW: Erik Viel - Off the Beaten Path
By Chip Withrow - 09/25/2007 - 02:03 PM EDT

"If an independent musician asked me for one piece of advice (none ever has, but here goes), it would be to make sure the first cut on your CD is a great one. Remember Mom and Dad saying, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”?"

" “I'll Be Loving You” is one of the highlights. Another vocalist, Nick Gravelding, packs the wallop this time, and this one smokes with funky jam-band intensity. Viel's multi-tracked, melodic guitars are particularly sweet."
