The seafaring tunes harken to a by-gone era, making the listener yearn to be anywhere but on the couch in a 1997 living room. Cramer is one of the leading lights of the Northwest folk scene.

It is impossible to listen to West By Northwest without tapping a toe, raising a frothy mug, and singing along.

Nancy Vivolo, Soundwave Music News, Olympia, WA

A decade ago... we met many of the artists, such as Bill Staines, Kate Wolf, Gordon Bok, Claudia Schmidt, Stan Rogers, Nanci Griffith, whom we have come to love.... every so often, we hear an artist who brings back the memories of those days. Hank Cramer is such an artist, and his music on West by Northwest has that lovely feeling of being directed right to you, as if he were playing in the same room.
