"PRESS QUOTES!"

“Zoellner fills the role of the earnest and understated lyricist that isn’t particularly commonplace these days….”
-Charles Martin The Oklahoma City Gazette


“Get his album and take him everywhere you go.”
-Doug Hill, POP Magazine


'Right On Time' is a rare tapestry of excellent musical tracks woven together with intelligently written lyrics...a must have!"

“This is rock 'n' roll with a dash of cosmic American music thrown in for good measure.”
-FUFKIN.com

" 'Everywhere I Go',the disc's first song, and the title cut, both of which have a definite Jackson Browne vibe. Those songs fit neatly into the package of Beatles-influenced pop-rock, featuring sharp vocals, top-notch musicianship and intelligent lyrics. "

- John Wooley, The Tulsa World

•"Now, don’t think for a minute that Zoellner’s new CD is a limp, piano lounge disc, for that’s not the case. From the thumping rocker “Let Me In”, with its feedback from both the guitar and Phil’s Wurlitzer keyboard, to the jazzy swing of “Right Side of the Bed”, Right on Time is still a rock album. It’s just the natural progression from Zoellner’s previous disc, drawing its inspiration from The Beatles’ Abbey Road"

-Gary Hizer, The Urban Tulsa, Feb 23, 2006

"Ride Into the Sky." It's a gospel album featuring a who's who of Red Dirt musicians…
At times on this record, Zoellner sounds eerily like a cross between Bono and Coldplay's Chris Martin.

- Matt Elliot, The Tulsa World

“RIGHT ON TIME” Released: Feb 2006

RIGHT ON TIME a critically hailed studio record. For the fist time, the piano is getting equal time with the guitars on this follow up to the 70s rock sound album of “Z”.

“Zoellner is a songwriter with Ric Osasek’s wry sense of humor and a simplistic approach to melody that smacks of Tom Petty. Thankfully, Zoellner’s got more going on in the looks department than his influences do.” TIME OUT NEW YORK

“The end result [Rosedale Sessions] is a confident collection of raggedly melodic ruminations on life and love, owing as much, stylistically, to southern power-pop progenitors Big Star as to alt-country heroes Uncle Tupelo and Whiskeytown. – Jarrod Gollihare, URBAN TULSA WEEKLY
