"...as producer, Powell has become the Gurf Morlix or the Daniel Lanois or the Colin Linden of Southern acoustic roots music." --- Jerome Clark, Bluegrass Works

APRIL VERCH
Take Me Back
2006 |
"... April Verch is multi-talented, and her latest showcases her knack for writing tight, melodic little country/roots ditties that'll have you convinced she's from Nashville and not the Ottawa Valley. This may partly be due to the excellent production by Dirk Powell. Verch worked her ass off to come up with 14 tracks that stand up as well on their own as they fit within the construct of a complete album. And that's just what Take Me Back is – a fully realized set that does not retreat into a fiddle fest the moment things get tough. If anything, there's not enough fiddling. It says a lot when the thing you remember about a master fiddler is her engaging voice."
Brent Raynor, NOW Toronto

THE WILDERS
Throwdown
2006 |
(co-produced w/ The Wilders)
"The Wilders are a worldly bunch of hillbillies currently from Kansas City, who come to this old time country, string band, and bluegrass music from far flung musical corners like opera, classical, punk, and tuba music. The Wilders are a worldly bunch of hillbillies currently from Kansas City, who come to this old time country, string band, and bluegrass music from far flung musical corners like opera, classical, punk, and tuba music...The record is co-produced, engineered, and mixed by old time music icon Dirk Powell in his studio near Beaux Bridge, LA, The Cypress House. We feel truly remiss in not having interviewed this national treasure by this time, and hope to remedy that in the near future."
