"To these ears, one of the best purveyors of down and dirty blues triumphalism." - Robert Ham, Willamette Week. "A one-man junk-folk-blues act with knitting-needle guitar, footstomp percussion, and a holler that sounds like a less lysergic Captain Beefheart." - Ned Lannamann, Portland Mercury. "In the simplest description, I would have to say it's a raw, gritty, organic sound, full of heart and guts, and sweat and spit and backbone... 'blue-collar blues-punk,' which at once sums up the man and the artist pretty accurately." - James Carlson, National Examiner. "Live, Ghostwriter can put the fear of God in you... unleashing some serious power through his minimalist approach. " - Mark Lore, Chico News & Review.
