" Western Skies Motel has finally broken the silence with probably his most refined and touching record so far." -DIY CONSPIRACY

"...an intoxicating journey through a dreamworld that evokes vast, wide open landscapes and mysterious goings on." -NORMAN RECORDS

"Alternate tunings, experimental techniques, and bold strokes of tonal and textural color create a gripping narrative." -STATIONARY TRAVELS

"...conjures up the beauty and bleakness of the American West." OPUS

"Western Skies Motel seems to have absorbed the solitude of nature into itself. Each of the dozen tracks on "Trails" is the perfect accompaniment for solitary walks in the world outside." -MUSIKBLOG

"...glorious, intricate guitar picking." -NO MORE WORKHORSE
