"Karl Conrad has a style that captures all the best elements of blues, country and contemporary folk.  His voice blends in harmony in a way that brings you back to an earlier time- like listening to the recordings of the Carter family."

Bob Martin

"Karl Conrad's CD is tasty collection of thoughtful originals and covers from off the beaten path! He's got the easygoing sincerity and confidence of a well - worn folk singer!"

"Karl's music is heartfelt and honest. That's exactly what I'm trying to get through to my listeners, and his songs have fit right in. His tunes get right to the point....hope he doesn't write one about me."

"Late Bloomer" is a newly released CD by Karl Conrad which was produced by Jaime Brockett, long time "Outlaw Folk Legend". Karl mixes a few covers in with his own material, including the classic "Coal Tattoo", Donovons "Catch the Wind" and John Gorka's "Pilot Light". Conrad mixes elements of folk, blues and country into his own style and sings in a style reminiscent of John Prine (with a similar tongue in cheek sense of humor). In a time of slick music and production, this record stands out with a great rootsy feel."
