"My favorite place to go in New York is to see Steve Tyrell at the Cafe Carlyle."

"Tyrell takes precisely the right tack- actually, quite Sinatra-like - by avoiding macho displays and fitting in perfectly with the arrangements, telling stories that beautifully balance lyrics, music and mood."
Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

"Steve Tyrell brings to classic songs a rough-hewn, raspy vocal style that goes back to his Texas rhythm-and-blues upbringing."
Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle

"No two popular singers could sound as different as the mellifluous Frank Sinatra and the gruff-voiced Steve Tyrell, yet the latter has produced as sincere and musically compelling a tribute as the former could have ever hoped for. Concentrating on the Grade A standards that Sinatra triumphed with, Tyrell brings to each his own individual charm and easygoing swing."
William Pearl, Barnes and Noble
