Review in Gitarre & Bass, 4/2011

Markus Rill – Wild, Blue & True (English translation)
Munich-based singer, songwriter and guitarist Markus Rill has found his path between straight rockers, country sound and the openness of alternative Americana. Besides his pleasant crunchy voice and unobtrusive yet expressive guitar pickings, it’s the plentitude of little surprises that give the album its charm: Be it Felix Leitner’s slide playing, duet partner Annika Fehling, a backwards guitar by producer Tom Ripphahn, or an original groove, the use of accordion … this is music with beautiful quiet moments in a transparent production – great!
