PRESS QUOTES
"Krüger will captivate with her stellar songwriting
and Patty Griffin meets PJ Harvey voice." - Performing
Songwriter Magazine
In reference to Kristy’s story and appearance on
This American Life:
“Kristy is funny and charming. She has a great voice
and I love so many of her songs. She was one of my favorite
interviews this year. I just got back from giving speeches
in North Carolina and people kept wanting to talk to me
about her troll-voice story. America loves her. Way more
comments about her than say, our coverage of Iraq.”
-Ira Glass, Host of Public Radio International’s
This American Life
“Her voice has a timeless quality to it and whatever
setting she places it into…like a hot hand in the
small of your back leading you to the dance floor, you are
powerless to resist.”
-David Cowling, Americana UK, the largest resource for
Americana in the UK
“She has grown into one of the most eclectic singers
in the Dallas music scene…Imagine a female Tom Waits,
produced by Daniel Lanois.”
-Thor Christensen, The Dallas Morning News
“We can’t get enough of the dark country-folk
on Dallas singer Kristy Krüger’s new CD…Krüger
shines brightest on Dark Stranger, with its hypnotic blend
of hard-driving country and transient electronica.”
-Hunter Hauk, The Quick, a product of The Dallas Morning
News
“Kristy Krüger has confidence and thoughtfulness
and an artistic sensibility that reflects a caring, sensitive
soul.”
–Edie Brickell
“...A heavy-lidded Dallas Americana songstress with
the vox and gumption to remake Depeche Mode's ‘Never
Let Me Down Again’ as a bluegrass rambler.”
-Chris Gray, The Austin Chronicle
“Far from a typical self-released set…A startlingly
mature work, full of whispered secrets and quiet affections.”
- Darryl Smyers, The Dallas Observer
“A genre crashing wonder, a multi-layered work of
aural art that holds up to and actually demands repeated
listens.”
-Steve Carter, Dallas Modern Luxury Magazine
“The real heart of ‘Anatomy’ lies in
Kruger’s knack for memorable lyrics and melodies,
her careful, evocative vocals and smart, contemporary arrangements
ranging from the alt-pop guitars of the opening ‘Monsoon’
and ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ to the acoustic
chill of the final ‘Alabaster.’ ”
-Keith Spera, The Times Picayune
"I think I have a crush on Kristy. Infectious smile.
The energy of a Mexican jumping bean. I've only met her
twice and each time she stays with me like a great movie
that you find yourself thinking about for days and days
afterwards... not to mention her CD that I keep listening
to on repeat."
-Derek Sivers, CD Baby Owner/President, the Internet’s
largest sole-independent music retailer
“On ‘An Unauthorized Guide to the Human Anatomy,’
Kristy Kruger is cool. The Texan sings ‘I Got My Back’
with the quiet confidence of someone who actually does.”
–Alex Rawls, The Gambit, Alternative Weekly Press,
New Orleans, LA
“Kristy’s the only female singer I’ve
ever heard that reminds me of Johnny Cash.”
-John Cross, fan, Dallas, TX
