Ernest Troost is an Emmy-winning composer, singer/songwriter, and a 2009 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk winner. His songwriting style combines folk and Piedmont-blues-style guitar with timeless stories and character portrayals drawn from the American past and present. If the Carter Family, Robbie Robertson, and Alfred Hitchcock wrote songs together, they might sound like this. About his album, “O LOVE”: “There’s not a better folksinger out there than Troost – he writes great songs with clever lyrics, plenty of hooks and he’s an astute guitar player – what else is there? Just this – Troost has a swell voice as well… You can’t play this album too many times and you’ll be continually amazed with what a lot can be done with such modest trappings.” –Bill Locey, Rock’n’ Roll Call, Ventura County Star
