Reviewers are applauding Sutherland's vocals, guitar licks and songwriting style:
"Kiefer Sutherland...slows down and unwinds on his debut album, a collection of 11 rough-edged country songs…The album has an unexpected, unvarnished authenticity that is pleasant, if sometimes familiar."
- Jill Lawless, Associated Press
"Kiefer Sutherland's new album DOWN IN A HOLE casts the popular actor in the role of talented songwriter/musician, something as unexpected as a 24 plot twist. His voice and original material are strong, begging the question, "Kiefer, what took you so long?"
- Mike Ragogna, Huffington Post
"Highlighted by his gravelly, whiskey-soaked growl, 49-year-old Kiefer Sutherland's debut set of electric guitar-enhanced Southern rockers and smoky barroom ballads fares better than most other actors' first releases."
- Ian Drew, US Weekly
"The perfect soundtrack for your Americana, dive bar road trip, "
All She Wrote" starts off with an intro that would sound right at home during the duel scene in a modern western. Sutherland's gritty vocals overlap electric guitar and crashing drums…"
- Kat Harlton, Lithium Magazine
"This record is the closest thing I've ever had to a journal or diary. All of these songs are pulled from my own personal experiences. As much as I have enjoyed the writing and recording process, I am experiencing great joy now being able to play these songs to a live audience, which was something I hadn't counted on," Sutherland said of DOWN IN A HOLE.
Sutherland recently wrapped up a North American tour where he sold out venues across the U.S. and Canada. Additional dates for this fall will be announced soon.
