“It’s one fine album” – Ben Fong-Torres (Rolling Stone, Almost Famous)

“…how rich the musical community of the San Francisco Bay Area is… certainly demonstrates a mastery of many musical genres that provides a roadmap of classic Americana music with this fine new record” -J C Flyer

“…evokes artists from multiple decades over the last century and embraces everything from indie-rock and Americana to Celtic, Motown, and Western swing. If you need a reference point, look to bands like Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks and Asleep at the Wheel, whose records also draw on disparate sources.” – Jeff Burger, Americana Highway
