"Crandall's themes usually deal in some way with transcendence. {His music} only asks that you let it transport you, which it does- with strange, old rooted, sepia toned, sometimes bewildering majesty."

“Musically there is a very broad range – from the very traditional to the very new. The common denominator is fire and emotion. It is mature and raw.”
