PRESS FOR WINDJAMMER:
"Hauck’s lush, calm, finger-picked folk rides on gently thoughtful lyrics and understated yet rich vocal melodies to create an expansive experience inside an intimate mood... The songs are emotive and powerful without being forceful, and beautiful without being cloying. Windjammer is one of the best acoustic releases of the year." – Independent Clauses
"...a deeply personal work born out of coming home and coming to terms… written and composed beautifully, like, as the first song suggests, a fine Riesling, bursting with life in all its shades and hues." – Laughing Evergreens
"Illinois-based Carl Hauck...writes melodic, intimate music that has wound itself into my heart. A sure sign that I really like a record is when I wake up singing something from it, and that's happened several times now with this album." – Lost in Your Inbox
"You need to hear Carl Hauck’s Windjammer. I’ll never post anything I don’t seriously like on Rawkblog, but this is a special record, a collection of tender country-tinged folk that draws on Michigan-era sufjan Stevens and Heartbreaker/Gold-era Ryan Adams with equal adeptness. " – Rawkblog
"Once again, Hauck has done a beautiful job crafting an album of songs that are intelligently written both instrumentally and lyrically... Absolutely perfect for the time of year when you are bound to feel nostalgic and be searching for creature comforts to get you through the change of the seasons, Windjammer is bound to make an appearance on your list of favorite fall albums of 2010." – Reviewsic
"If you pick up one 'folk' album today, make it Carl Hauck's Windjammer... The album is a study in delicate finger-picked singer-songwriter selections that carry some of the best melodies of 2010." – Slowcoustic
"With the richness and eloquence of Windjammer…Hauck impresses with his artful lyricism and thoughtful composition... While he never strays far from his pensive, patient approach, Hauck's honest songwriting and attention to detail bring his music from simple folk into something intensely personal, both soothing and heart-wrenching." – Smile Politely
"…oozing with Midwestern charm and innocence... The soothing tunes effortlessly transition into one another, and before you know it you're starting the entire album all over again, happily searching for more of the lovely subtleties hidden in the songs." – The Wild Honey Pie
"Listening to Windjammer...is an amazingly intimate experience. Sometimes sounding a bit sorrowful, sometimes hopeful, Carl gives us a close-up look inside his mind with performances that aren't allowed to hide behind heavy instrumentation or overwrought production. It makes his talent crystal clear." – Windy City Rock
