"The Old-Fashioned Way is the kind of song that any songwriter would give anything to have written."
Frank Smith - Ottawa Singer-songwriter

“James Kasper soon entrances your ears, and it is fair to draw comparison with the likes of Chris Isaak, only with rather more tears and whiskey...Our Mr Kasper does good death songs... There is much to enjoy on this album, not least of which is James Kasper's warm, melancholic voice.”
Bluesbunny.com

"With the burning wail of his harmonica and his smouldering lyrics, Kasper artfully wrenches empathy from listeners...the noir side adds depth of character and individuality to his music, helping to distinguish him from the thousands of other singer-songwriters in the country roots genre."
Nereida Fernandes - exclaim! magazine

"Smart, original songs framed by a seductively whimsical sound."
Joseph Blake - Times-Colonist

"A long time coming, Kasper's debut solo album has been well worth the wait. Haunting vocals, strong songwriting, and a great set of supporting artists make this an enjoyable, introspective disc."
John Threlfall - Monday Magazine

"James Kasper's songwriting skills take the listener on a journey with each phrase turned. The Old Fashioned Way is layer upon layer of rootsy goodness."
Rob Pingle - 101.9FM CFUV

"Good lyrics and strong, interesting melodies are hard to find in much of today's music. James Kasper delivers and then some. The Old Fashioned Way is fine work."
Michael Burke - Cordova Bay Entertainment Group
