Ol' Yeller "Sonicbids Electronic Press Kit"

 

"If you’re into rock ‘n’ roll and you have yet to discover one of the best tunesmiths in Minnesota history, there’s no reason you can’t start here." --Duluth News Tribune 11/22/12

"Like summertime lakes and sleepy hometowns, Ol' Yeller is something you don't realize how much you missed until you soak up its comfort once again." -VitaMN 12/5/12

"Ol' Yeller is as authentic as a wet, crumpled dollar next to a whiskey sour and Rich Mattson is Minnesota's cross between John Fogerty, Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer." --City Pages, "Gimme Noise" 12/7/12

"It’s nice to see that Ol’ Yeller are still defiantly kicking ass in that way that people used to, sounding like a damn great live rock and roll band cranking up terrific songs in some dark, smoke-filled studio somewhere in the Iron Range that smells a little bit of old beer and a little bit of man-sweat. And believe me, that’s no bad thing - that’s the way it should be done." --Jon Hunt, L'etoile Magazine 11/28/12

"..it's awesome to hear that not only are Ol' Yeller reuniting..but they're also in the midst of recording a new album." ..Andrea Swensson, The Current blog "Friday 5"
