"Yeah, I have that one (I'M ALIVE) and the previous JINDER album (WILLOW PARK). I have a friend who runs a little indie store right around the corner from me in NYC who orders his stuff in for me. Great minds think alike."
(legendary alt.country artist RYAN ADAMS)
"A significant new talent to look out for in the near future ."
(BBC Radio One's ZANE LOWE)
"You can practically drink in the atmosphere, and on ‘Townes’ Blues’ you feel as if you’re in the same room in the middle of the night when ‘No Deeper Blue’ is taking one last spin on the record player and the wine bottle is emptying...Jinder’s acoustic guitar sound and sublime voice just need to be heard. Towering and heartrending. "
(ZEITGEIST ONLINE)
"With "I'M ALIVE" JINDER has pushed himself to the forefront of British Americana singers...he will be one of 2007's breakthrough artists."
(NETRHYTHMS)
"Jinder has a marvelous voice. Jinder's style of songwriting borrows a lot from Townes Van Zandt. He certainly can't go wrong there, as Townes is acknowledged as one of the great songwriters of the 20th Century. "Townes' Blues, Jinder's tribute to Townes, cleverly borrows words and phrases from TVZ 's famous songs "Flying Shoes", "To Live is to Fly" and "No Deeper Blue" among others. Jinder's song brings back all that TVZ means to those who love his music and mourned his passing and is a TVZ type of song as well.
I've been following his career with interest since then and strongly feel that he is an artist to follow. This latest CD is a winner."

(MAVERICK MAGAZINE)
"A superb album absolutely chocka with top quality tracks; stunning musicianship, majestic arrangements and excellent production.

'I'm Alive' can be anything you want it to be, but at the end of the day it's just brilliant!."
(RHYTHM & BOOZE)

(CAMBRIDGE AND BEYOND MAGAZINE)
"an exploration of the iconography of Americana. Lyrically and musically it is exceptionally visual – images of ‘Paris Texas’ and Steinbeck novels come to mind in a land where “lonesome rivers flow” and solace is found in a “cheap jug of wine”"
8/10 (WWW.BHONE.CO.UK)
"Imagine Ryan Adams soaked in cider playing Lightning Hopkins"
(FLYIN' SHOES MAGAZINE)
