Review: Anthologies by Derik Hulquist

Published 12:00 am Friday, September 9, 2011

Anthologies is the second album from Knoxville, Tennessee (now living in Nashville), singer/songwriter Derik Hulquist.  Many of the songs on Anthologies have an alt-country tinge that separates them from the general singer-songwriter genre. 

The production quality on Anthologies is more sophisticated than his earlier recordings and reflects a maturing of his particular musical vision. “Whether Report” and “I Fell In Love with a Ghost” are particularly compelling.  At 25, Hulquist shows plenty of promise, and I look forward to more from him.
