"I absolutely loved 'Flowers Would Blush'. This song is captivating from the first bit of pickin'! I love the story ...I also enjoyed 'Maybe the Mountains'...a great story with rich harmonies and musicianship as glorious as the classic pickers of yesteryear. I love what you guys are doing!" - Kerry Gibson, Shut Eye Records
"In the grand tradition of social/political songs dating back to the 60's comes this burning, soulful effort that smolders with a sly edge and pointed tongue lyrically, and overall vibe that is part Don Henley, part Sting, part John Fogarty, and many cool important artists in between...this is one damn good song!" - UNISONG! 2004 Official Critique
