Holy Cow
“Here is a form of roots and blues, a brilliant reach into the artistic stratosphere. Sounds like blues, but also like everything else, or not. It’s musical white light with the presence of all other colors when viewed through a prism.”
— Frank Matheis, Living Blues Magazine
Holy Cow
Clothesline Revival
2018
The genius behind Clothesline Revival’s most adventurous, funkiest and sublime album to date is Conrad Praetzel’s inspired quirky electronica that permeates the tracks and builds the terrain upon which the organic roots instrumentation can roam. The music on this all instrumental album gravitates between insanity and serenity, boisterous blues and tender spirituals where a Moog synthesizer and a 1937 Harmony archtop guitar can share the same sonic space.

Clothesline Revival
“Praetzel’s music has the effect of propelling the listener forward, not just because of the driving rhythms, but also because of the new sounds we’re hearing, so deeply inspired by the past that they practically explode into the future.”
— Wanda Waterman, writer of The Mindful Bard for The Voice Magazine
