"Rock it"(German Rockmagazine), Feb. 2003 Troels Skovgaard: "Troels Skovgaard"
Did you follow last year's tour part one? In June 2002 Ralf was enthusiastic about the Bamboo Brothers' album. Since then their guitarist Troels Skovgaard has sent a solo-album on the market which should make the pulse of every westcoast-fan race.
The groovy "Almost a Sigh" with its tasty guitar passages is the first of 12 tracks which roughly lies somewhere between the Bamboo Brothers and the Eagles.
It gets really Glen-Freyish in the beautiful "Rosie", while the secretive, calm "Dive for Pearls" is decorated with lovely piano fills.
Mainly Troels keeps his album quite acustic and in the mid-tempo-area, not forgetting from time to time to pluck the strings and sparkle with delicate solos as in the bluesy "You just play".
Undoubtedly, Skovgaard is a great guitarplayer; add to this a pleasant and versatile voice which he uses in line with the multi-styled tracks (two of which are even in Italian).
All in all a strong summer-album.
