4.0 out of 5 stars Keeping it real, October 26, 2005

There's something original and yet instantly recognizable in the sound Drexel has managed to capture on his debut CD. His approach is raw and direct... and the results are a blend of stark contrasts and subtle musical textures. I'm reminded of Neil Young's early 70's albums, where he left all the fret buzz and studio noise in the mix, sometimes singing too close to the mike, sometimes a bit off key. It didn't matter then and it doesn't now. As long you are able to convey the honest emotion of the moment..

4.0 out of 5 stars A Transplants Debut..., October 26, 2005

Drexel D. Baker quit an established rock band , moved to New York City, and recorded this brilliant solo album all in the same 12-month period. A borrowed 4-track and a few favors from friends made it possible to do each of these things. Those favors are returned here on BloodyTransylvaniaStreetMachine.

With off-kilter introspection and a tension that keeps you listening, Drexel's take on acoustic/electric cityscapes is worth your time and cash.

Fans of Neil Young, Sparklehorse, and My Morning Jacket will be drawn to this deeply moving debut from an exciting new singer songwriter. The lyrics and instrumentation are boiled down to the barest of elements to cut right to the soul of the message.
