Album Of The Week

"Det här är en finstämd skiva med country och americana, och med en stor dos rockabilly i Buddy Hollys anda, se låten 'Rave On'. Bästa låten, balladen 'Sweet Melancholy', påminner starkt om 'Oh My Sweet Carolina' där Ryan Adams och ikonen Emmylou Harris sjöng så fint för 25 år sedan. Jim Wurster har i 12 låtar överraskat undertecknat ordentligt med att lyfta fram rötterna inom country och rockabilly som med bluesen skapade rockmusiken."

"Y&T Music is proud to announce the European release of Jim Wurster’s new studio album. This is his 1st studio album since the well received release, 'Life', from 2017. The album showcases Wurster’s pure americana roots, with songs like 'Tried And True', 'The Sun Is Always Blue', and the rollicking title track."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"Jim Wurster, from Florida, has a real feeling for country music. The music is deadly serious, but Wurster's wry eye for the ludicrous nature of the world, particularly at this moment, means there are plenty of smiles on 'Transcendental Inclinations' in songs like ' Black Queerie' and High Rolling Holy Rider'."

- Sean McGhee / Rock'N'Reel Magazine -

"Very few people will know Jim Wurster. The songwriter, singer and guitarist currently lives in Vero Beach, Florida. Despite his relative obscurity, he can already look back on 7 solo albums, as well as releases with his band, the Atomic Cowboys. With them, he dedicated himself to the country genre and added further individual elements to it, so the whole thing fits easily into the big pigeonhole 'americana'."

- Wolfgang Giese / Musik An Sich -

"Jim Wurster leaves no stone unturned in the country music that can be heard on US radio. With that, the singer songwriter from Florida opens his album 'Transcendental Inclinations'. Although he does not meet the image of the country singer in any way, on 'Tried And True' Wurster immediately makes it clear that he is."

- John Gjaltema / Alt Country NL -

"The variety in music styles that Florida based singer songwriter Jim Wurster has selected for the songs on his latest record, 'Transcendental Inclinations', demonstrates his broad level of skills. Moreover, he has chosen to cover 3 rockabilly and rock songs from the 50's which also shows his knowledge of the history of folk, country, rock and americana music."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"This Florida based singer songwriter has come a long way since the disbanding of Black Janet, a Miami based indie rock combo. Besides projects with The Atomic Cowboys, Jim Wurster has focused primarily on solo work. 2016's 'No Joke' was followed by 'Life'. Since his retirement as a history teacher, he's apparently freed up more time and space for music, and now there's a successor in 'Transcendental Inclinations'."

- Cis van Looy / Written In Music -

"Jim Wurster offers a variety of songs from the roots music and americana fields, where there are enough places for classic country tunes, even a rock song, and some so called old fashioned old folkie themes. I would say that the author has connected older and newer tendencies under the mentioned genres and forms, and without a doubt, all the things stand in the right place. The presented material is pretty melodic, and melodicity in general is a key element of the album. For all the followers of older and newer roots variants, 'Transcendental Inclinations' is one of the albums that will never disappoint you at any moment."
