What is being said about The Beauty of It All—

•I rate him very highly, the Beauty of It All is a beautiful album-- Frank Hennessy, Celtic Heartbeat. BBCRadio Wales

•Brian Kalinec crafts intriguing songs and engaging melodies that reflect his diverse sound and uniquely artistic spirit. If you've not discovered him yet, then this gem of an album will certainly make an excellent starting point.. —Alan Cackett-Americana, Roots, Country & Bluegrass Music 7/23

•…the warmth of his voice, the soothing feel of the music and the glow of hope that shines through, are indeed all part of the beauty of it all.—Mike Davies, FATEA

•This set is back to basics Americana. Brian’s cut from the cloth of storytellers like John Steinbeck but mixed in the bacon grease & winds of the Dust Bowl where Woody Guthrie left his footprints.—John Apice—Americana Highways 6/23
