Classic American Sound
"A classic American sound with melancholy pedal solos, Appalachian vocal harmonies, jangling piano & keys, weeping fiddle & mandolin, and of course electrifying guitar licks all played by some of the best session players in the business. STILL CRAZY is an excellent collection of 11 executed with a sense of Southern energy, high musical standards (one that seems to be slipping from the mainstream these days) set by polished players, and an emphasis on the genre’s traditional focus on story-telling, the album will not disappoint any lovers of Americana, and rootsy, rock ‘n’ roll influenced country.

A Honky Tonk Ride
"Killer players. Great stories. Nice slice of life moments that come alive in a very visual way. The characters and settings draw you into the more tender moments. Other times it’s just a matter of jumping on for a honky tonk ride!"

Saddle-up!
Saddle up for another country-rockin' ride with Westerlund's STILL CRAZY. Evan has crafted a fine collection of tunes here, bringing classic country themes to life with his own twist and dabbling with the contemporary on 'Don't You Worry Bout Me' - solid songwriting and top notch playing make for a smooth ride!"

Standouts: 'Still Crazy', 'Who's Gonna Take Care of the Horses', 'Can't Sleep for Thinkin'...

Swing & Energy!
Swing & Energy - "Laid-back storyteller country with a taste of Townes Van Zandt, Willie N, JJ Cale, Jackson Browne. The Malmö band that played on the Furuvik stage played with more swing & energy than the Nashville elite.
