Album Of The Week

“'Be A Better Me' is a warm and heartfelt album of 11 songs presenting the very best of Texan George Ensle’s songwriting, singing and playing."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"George Ensle might not have such a high profile as some of the peers from those formative years, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Nanci Griffith, but this new album is ample evidence that he is no lesser a talent."

- Mike Davies / Fatea Magazine -

"George Ensle' 'Be A Better Me' is a work of experience and age wisdom, with small observations of everyday life, with memories of earlier years, and with a slightly religious tone."

- Wolfgang Reitzammer / Cool Tourist -

"George Ensle knows very well how to convey his stories worth listening to, a real Texas folk album, which is sure to be a success with its extremely relaxed songwriting and warm melodies."

- Max W Achatz / Country Jukebox -

"George Ensle really understand how to package and transport his feelings in such a way that they really reach the listener, as long as you're accessible to his calm folky sound. The instrumentation alone is absolutely successful and suitable as a framework for these wonderful songs, whether there are string instruments or banjo, accordion or dobro."

- Wolfgang Giese / Musik An Sich -

"It is time to close George Ensle in our hearts. Wonderful storyteller, humble person. God bless Ensle, at his 73rd year he still sounds as subtle and fresh as when he started in the 1960's."

- Fred Schmale / Real Roots Café -

"'Be A Better Me' is George Ensle's new album, and basically it contains old school country balladry material, which also has a raw singer songwriter touch in a great song like 'Scarecrow', and some Van Morrison can be heard during a song like 'Gone Fishin’'. However, Bob Dylan meets Willie Nelson would be the best description here."

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"George Ensle, high standard americana at his best, which make us all better, just by listening....."

- Freddy Vandervelpen / Rootsville -

"Beautiful folk songs with refined fingerpicking, and subtle instrumentation on an entire acoustic album. George Ensle is a rare survivor from a generation of slowly disappearing authentic storytellers."

- Cis van Looy / Written In Music -

"This is music of the heart, and thoughts of every day, in the best tradition of the stars and stripes singer songwriters."

- Roberto Anghinoni / Late For The Sky -
