Yusif
Yusif
Review by Larry Toering
Yusif is an artist from Seattle, with roots in Kuwait. While categorizing his music isn’t something that comes obviously or easily, it's also not all that hard to feel a strong influence from the likes of Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Americana is making a huge statement lately in the Pacific North West, and this is not far from that, along with its massive AOR potential. This is certainly an effort made in that department, but done so with complete originality somehow. Why an artist like this isn't more exposed is just another industry mystery.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2012 Volume 6 at lulu.com/strangesound.
