Bio: Stevie Coyle (late of the whiz-bang string band The Waybacks) is one lucky bum. His dad ran a radio station in southern California and brought home all the promo LPs that didn't fit the Spanish-language format.

"He's a musical genius, and that's not something I say lightly. I've been a professional musician for almost 50 years, and genius is a rare quality -- I've only seen and heard a very small number of true musical geniuses in my time, and Stevie's one of them. True craftsmanship is the product of hours and hours and hours of hard work ; but, in addition to the hours of work, extraordinary aptitude is a necessary ingredient to creating complex, original music -- and that's where the genius part comes in when it comes to Stevie Coyle. Stevie's got the magic in his hands and I'll bet he knows where it comes from, so I've got to believe he's a great guitar teacher, because he's such a magnificent performer. Stevie also knows how to put a song together -- he knows how songs are made and he knows how to deliver them, too."

— Barry "The Fish" Melton, Country Joe & The Fish, LinkedIn

“Stevie Coyle's 'Ten-In-One' voted #5 by David Royko in the Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll of Top Ten CDs of 2009.”

— David Royko, Village Voice

“... a wonderfully imagined concept album ... It all works a treat, mining traditional indigenous music forms to illuminate a fascinating slice of vernacular American history in much the same way as Ry Cooder's 'Chavez Ravine' and 'My Name Is Buddy.'”

— Nigel Williamson, Uncut

“... songs, instrumentals and aural collages to conjure up a sideshow atmosphere that is open to a listener's individual interpretation--or interpretations; each time I've listened it's revealed different things to me. Joining Stevie is a fantastic cast of virtuoso musicians and singers, too.”

— Mike Regenstreif, Sing Out!

“… a strange piece of work, brimming with ideas and invention … hugely evocative of twilight; the slight hint of danger, of not being in Kansas any more … brave, challenging, and one that repays repeated listening to catch all the nuances and sub-text.”

— Jeremy Searle , Rock N Reel

“I listened to your CD: It's brilliant! I really mean that. I found it to be an incredibly visual experience ... I was enamored by its continuity - the way you occupied the spaces between songs was extraordinary: What a trip! I'll shout that from the rooftops!”

— Barry "The Fish" Melton, Country Joe and The Fish

“... ambitious and impressive solo debut ... imaginative, intelligent, clever, highly skilled musically and fearlessly conceived in the spirit of 'Sgt. Pepper's' ... 'Ten-In-One' deserves repeated listening, and takes its place in my collection as one of the finest albums I've heard this year.”

— Paul Liberatore, Marin Independent Journal

“Like the works of the great musicians, back when they were in the artist business, not the music business, it doesn't fit in any genre ... There isn't just one joker in this deck: all the cards are twisted. Inquiring minds who like their music to take them new places will love it.”

— Brad Kava, Bay Area Music Critic At Large

“Mr. Coyle [in 'Train On The Brain'] spins a tale of a train trip gone awry that holds the listener's attention through seven verses using a narrator's voice that alternately murmurs in a low growl and sings. He feeds the lyrics with metaphors like an engineer feeding old train engine with coal.”

— Pico, Something Else

“... awash in mystique and intrigue ... what this man isn’t a master of is no one’s business!”

— Maurice Hope, Flyin' Shoes Review

“... moments of absolute beauty ... I defy anyone to listen to this through just the once; there's a distinct urge to play it over again and again.”

— Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky

“If Stevie’s first solo project is any indication, he’s just started releasing great music. The hipness of ... “Train on the Brain”... the bitter-sweetness of “Last Song For You” ... the mature mastery of instrumentals like “Rue du Romie,” all make for a complete tapestry of moods.”

— Mokai, Folk Blues Guitar Obsession

“... arguably one of the funniest fingerstyle guitarists known to humankind. Since his departure from the incredibly eclectic string band, The Waybacks, Stevie has been ... entertaining those lucky enough to be present with amazing guitar skills and witty repartee.”

— Kathy Sands-Boehmer, Acoustic Music Scene

“Working with Stevie is a pleasure. I'd have him back in a heartbeat. Although he's low maintenance, he's also very much a professional. He's delightful and funny. A great songwriter and a great musician. Everybody loves Stevie.”

— Gloria Holloway, UU TAMPA, da web

“Our recent House Concert with the incomparable Stevie Coyle ranks among the best shows we've had. Stevie's great song writing and amazing guitar playing were complemented by his humor, charm and exceptional rapport with the audience. ”

— R & J , Russ & Julie's House Concerts

"When I speak to people who know The Waybacks, they always appreciate the humor, intelligence, and well-roundedness that Stevie brought to the band ... he gave it a light-hearted seriousness and a walking-on-air groundedness that had broad appeal without being watered dowm ..."

— Polly King, Village Concerts, Palmyra, VA

"On top of being a top-rate guitarist and singer, he is also an outstanding entertainer. He brings a lot of humor to his show, through funny songs, stories, and general chatter with the audience. He really connected with our group, and everyone had a wonderful time."

— Bo Russell, Casa Bowl House Concerts, Orlando, FL
