"...this singer/songwriter/musician not only plays an impressive
classical style guitar but he knows how to write a good piece of
music as well. “Between the Lines” presents 10 amazing tracks
that clearly prove Cochell has substance, solid musicianship &
rock solid songwriting. Music reminds me of heartfelt Jim Croce,
Cat Stevens, and even Gordon Lightfoot. Fans who like these
artists will tumble over this release."

Drew Blackwell, Skope Magazine (Feb 01, 2011)
"There's something comforting about a musician as talented as
Jeff Cochell. It's almost as if his obvious gift at playing the
guitar makes listening to his debut album, Between the Lines,
all the more pleasurable. His arrangements and finger picking
are so intensely and almost perfectly displayed throughout each
song that it's almost surreal."

Abbey K. Davis, Muzik Reviews (Jan 04, 2011)
"Jeff is an amazing guitar player and songwriter. He sounds a
little like Clapton when he gets mellow. Check out track 3 'Only
if the Sun Don't Shine' if you don't believe me... If Jeff could
find someone in Nashville to shop his music he could be a
wealthy man one day. They are works of art that need to be
heard."

Charlie Harrelson - Founder of EVOR, EvOR: Indie Reviews (Dec

"Cochell has a strong sense of his genre and style, the songs
are authentic and heartfelt; which is the essence of folk music.
The atmosphere of the production seems to suit the laid-back
nature of the songs giving everything just enough reverberation
without becoming overly drenched in melancholia."

Rock N' Roll View (Dec 13, 2010)
"Jeff Cochell is an amazing player and composer with fancy
picking, amazing songs, and heartfelt music. Cochell touches
some sensitive ground as he proves he's not afraid to share some
intimate truths about his life experience. Jeff Cochell is a
rare find these days and should be treated as such. "

Markus Druery, Indie Shark Magazine (Nov 15, 2010)
"The album is a great, gentle and gifted record, it is a very
musical offering that will appeal to the more discerning
listener."
-
The Mag (Nov 05, 2010)
"Cochell has become a phenom with the six string; his art
clearly apparent throughout his debut album, Between The
Lines.... 'Somewhere' stresses Cochell's strengths as a
guitarist in a stirring instrumental piece you'll find yourself
listening to again and again."
-
Wildy's World (Oct 29, 2010)
"Between The Lines is ten tracks about love and there's a lot of
sadness and melancholy in here. There's an honesty here that
will strike the listener as boldness.... This CD's strong suit
is really Jeff's guitar playing. The acoustics meanderings are
truly a thing of beauty. Track 9, "Somewhere," is a phenomenal
piece that will inspire thoughts of clear babbling streams in a
pristine mountain forest."

Bob Yunger, Reviewer Magazine (Jul 09, 2010)
"Cochell’s playing, writing, and conventional wisdom are
impressive. He tells each tale with hope, passion and pure
honesty. When this CD is over you will be dazzled by his guitar
playing, touched by his vocal presence, and mesmerized by his
wisdom."
