Big Canoe Records books: Winning the West Duke Paul of Wuerttemberg Reviews Missouri Magazine "You'll love Bob Dyer's music if you love the warm sense of history that well-crafted acoustic ballads can convey. Dyer writes and sings songs based on the history, legends and folk tales of his native Missouri…. While the lyrics are excellent, I'm particularly drawn by Bob's warm vocal delivery…. Put it all together and you've got real American roots country music, certainly not limited in interest to Missourians only. (Op: The Independent Music Magzine) "Bob Dyer is a gifted writer whose songs, poems and stories are circulating ever more widely. He has found that common ground where literary and folk traditions walk at ease." (Lee Ruth, Folk Musician, Happy Hollow Songs) "Like an old-time boatman deftly braiding a hawser, Bob Dyer has the knack of weaving the instructive yarn with the appealing ditty to come up with a neat piece of work…. A respected regional historian, Dyer draws his lyrics from a seemingly limitless store of arcane anecdotes. He avoids the generic lovers' laments and other overworked themes. Dyer's songs, with their ties to specific places and people, have a tangible sincerity not found in most mainstream music." (Columbia [Missouri] Daily Tribune) |
