Press & Reviews Chris's newest release 'Destinations Unknown' is out and beginning to hit the streets. Chris has delivered a CD that showcases his natural gift to relate stories and reveal situations with genuine emotion and insight, backed by solid song structure and musicianship. A great blend of country, western, folk and Americana that builds on the sounds of country music's predecessors. Chris Guenther has a raw intensity that exudes poetic realism. I have been programming music for our TLC Radio stations, and going through your "Destinations Unknown" album. I think you have a great country sound. A pleasant country voice that¹s very easy to listen to and songs that tell a story. Congratulations on a set of well written songs. I do like "I Gunned Him Down". The album is upbeat and still very country. The music is tight and wraps itself neatly around your songs. We are very pleased to have your music on our stations, and thank Comstock for sending you to us!
The Fall season began amazingly because of Comstock Records! Just September 21 arrived a package with one of the most brilliant indie artist listened to this year: Chris Guenther's genuine and outstanding country music took me by suprise. Speaking of the quality and freshness of this album, "Catch and Release" starts the CD with a bang and all the other tracks confirm how good a singer and songwriter he is. Great!
Hello Frank from Big Al Field at Triple U FM Nowra, Australia Comstock again comes to the fore in distribution and choice of music. My Review follows: Chris Guenther / Rating 1-10: (11) Favourites: Smoke & Mirrors, Destinations Unknown, Dance All Night, I Gunned Him Down, I Need your Love, King of the Jukebox. What a top album you have there! I'm sure Chris will have a top career in country music, don't let him get away cause it would be a shame if he quit making music.
Artist: Chris Guenther
Great songs that you send me last time! #1 Catch and Release #2 Destinations Unknown. Hey they are great songs!!!!
A great album of well-crafted and well-presented songs that range in tempo from Honky Tonk to ballads. Good voice, good backing music, there¹s not a track I woud¹nt play on my show, they are all just so good. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Raised in rural Southwest Washington, Chris Guenther was born with hard country music in his veins. While high school peers followed contemporary music trends, Guenther gravitated towards the classic country sounds favored by an older generation. Neo-traditionalist like George Strait and Alan Jackson became role models. With a strong focus and advanced musical ability, Guenther released his debut album ‘Honky Tonk Livin’, in 2001 and started his own independent record label, Blackboard Records. Gaining only modest attention, Guenther was slow with a follow up. Rather than waste time waiting for something to break loose in the country music business, Guenther worked on completing his Bachelor’s degree at Washington State University, while taking low-paying gigs and minimum wage jobs. Struggling to fight off reconciliation between his dream and reality, Chris came close to setting his musical ambition aside.
