Josie
Kreuzer
A purr and a growl. a sultry twang. this wild tigress knows how to
rock! Josie Kreuzer, the sizzling, red hot rockabilly gal formerly
of the Los Angeles based, all-girl rockabilly band Whistle Bait. recently
released her debut solo CD "Hot Rod Girl" on SheDevil Records.
Josie's CD "Hot Rod Girl" is full of ardent candor,
with a driving switchblade beat. If you were to take a pint of the
Blasters, a shot of Gene Vincent, a dash of Dwight Yoakam, mix them
with a twist of Patsy Cline and top it off with Wanda Jackson, Josie
Kreuzer would be the result. Her sultry, growling vocals and "good
ol' girl" style of songwriting lasso's your heart and soul,
pumping you up like a double espresso, pulling you into her rockabilly
world like a magnet to a Fridgedaire (or more appropriately, a red
hot stove). There hasn't been a female artist in a very long time
that can write or sing a song with the raw power that was so prevalent
with that of the honky tonk/rockabilly artists of the 1950's and
60's, and Josie Kreuzer does just that - but with her own twist.
Favorite Press Quotes
"The sexy, sultry voice of San Diego songstress Josie Kreuzer
simmered, sighed curd smoked it's way into my smiling skull. If
Sun era Johnny Cash could have taken female form, it would have
been hers. Josie has struck it out on her own, bringing her acoustic
guitar, Marilyn Monroe-like good looks and authentic rockabilly
stylings to the burgeoning Americana movement. In a completely fair
world she would have already amassed consicierable air time on commercial
country radio, but FM is far from a fair format. Swimming in the
same waters as classic honky tonk sirens Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson
and Janis Martin, Josie has the vocal talent, sex-appeal and musical
ability to snatch that 'rockabilly queen ' tiara for her own golden
brow. "
- Del Villarreal "Go Cat Go" WCBN 88.3 FM, Detroit
"Whistle Bait's radiant blonde singer has all the come-hither
loob of a naughty cheerleader, but, more interestingly, projects
the strength and selfsuficiency of an assured country artist like
Patsy Cline. Moreover, she clings to material that shows her twangy,
nasal tone, giving the band's songs a smoky, honky tonk shading
that is irresisrible "...
- Sandi Salina Messina, LA Village View
"Josie's leads on vocals were extensive. Her voice Powed through
the tightly packed upstairs room and made your heart pump. She sang
with that counny twang almost comparable to the notorious Patsy
Cline...
- Mary Denise, Rock City News
... "And when Josic sings my knees get a little weak. She
possesses that classic rockabilly hiccup and growl"...
- Cameron Diaz, The Grindstone
