Praise for "Call Me Lonesome"

"The long awaited solo debut from Arizona Americana artist Dave Insley shines with talent. With a thundering baritone voice that commands attention and yet remains as comfortable and homey as any weekend honky-tonker, Insley sells his own songs with a precision and style that only a very few other singer/songwriters manage. With "Call Me Lonesome," his first solo CD, this former Nitpicker and Trophy Husband demonstrates every one of his formidable skills, which also include producing the disc. Dave certainly puts the western back in country; but he's no retro artist. This disc is sharply modern, even as it embraces ancient folk music themes, such as family stories, lost love, and, of course, death. It swings, rocks a little, and remains wholly country. Americana lovers rejoice. Arizona Country is catching up with Texas Country. Dave Insley leads the pack. Highly Recommended!" POLYPHONIA UK, May 2005

"Dave Insley has a voice that sneaks into my mind, grabs me by the soul, and gives a shake. I don't know who he reminds me of, if anyone. His voice is a warm, honest baritone, unaided by anything but his talent. As a singer/songwriter, Insley gives his songs lyrics that are rich, quirky, thought-provoking, and powerfully honest. Arizona country music isn't as wide and well-known as Texas country, but we might see that change as people start to learn Dave Insley's name. With this, his first solo album, folks can get a taste of Dave's warm, homey baritone, his slick, tongue-in-cheek lyric writing, and his haunting, purely Western melodies and they may, like me, come away hungry for more."
