Every person I played this album for bought it the next day

"I read all the other customer-reviewers of Bulk, and I agree with every one with them.It is not possible to find a better 2 CD set for the price as there is in Bulk. Logan recorded on his own for about 8 years before he was discovered, and this album is just a sample of the talent the man has. It's a huge sample, but one that will leave no one tired of his sound. He has too many sounds--when he falls into genres, it's usually rock & roll, r&b, country, maybe a little punkish at times, with the occasional song that sounds like delta blues. There are songs on this album that refuse to be put into any of those categories, or even a combination of those categories.Musically all over the map, and he writes lyrics that make you envision Camus or Sartre whispering into his shoulder, sharing their insight into the human condition. He is truly a humbling and yet humble musical force.Bulk is what people should use as an example when their foreign friends ask what American music today really is."
Hitting on every cylinder

"Simply the most underrated of modern RnR geniuses (hell he's usually not even rated!). His vocal dual with the almost as underrated, Vic Chestnut on "The Parishioners" is haunting, "Town Crier" falls under the "indescribably delicious" category while the rest of the 42 (!) cuts cover just about every other genre you'd care to listen to (except for Rap thankfully). He and Liquor Cabinet crank out consistent low-fi ear-candy and to top it all off he's the cover artist too! I guess fiddling around with pool filter motors does something to spark creative genius, whatever it is go out and buy BULK now, you won't regret it!"
Blonde on Blonde, Born to Run, The Band, Bulk

"Comprable to the great works of Bob Dylan, The Band, Bruce Springsteen, Muddy Waters, and Hank Williams,Sr. I've heard "Female Jesus" about 10,000 times and I still listened to the sample. Buy this and you'll thank me later."
Rock is NOT dead

"This is a mysterious bounty of riches. One could view it as a history of rock in 42 tracks, or whatever. "Chloroform", for example, sounds like Hank Williams and Wire jamming, for chrissake. I'm very happy to see the plentiful mentions of "Town Crier" in the other reviews. It leaves the eyes blinking. If this all sounds vague, well, if you liked "Rust never Sleeps", "Beggar's Banquet", "Trust", "Carter Family's Greatest Hits", "The Sun Sessions", OR "The Basement Tapes", then this might just be the next step for you. And you know you've been waiting for it."
"Exile From Mainstream"

"The talent and craft in this backporch extravaganza is stunning. Every track is a chapter in a great rock novel of the deep South at the end of a century. Buy two; one to play and one to will to your kids."
