“This is my favorite bluegrass album in years!”
— Stephen D. Winick, Huffington Post
“A wonderful tribute album [of] straight-up, meat-and-potatoes bluegrass music of the kind that all too rarely features prominent female vocals.”
-- CDHotlist
“I’m a longtime fan of both of these bluegrass super-heroines and I’d been waiting for this album since I first heard it was in the melting pot — an 18 song primer of Californian-associated bluegrass standards that is a joy to listen to and a full-on foot-tapper to boot. This is a complete pack of some of our all time favourite bluegrass tunes that owe their popularity to the short careers of Vern and Ray, and are lovingly reprised here by two of bluegrass’s most respected daughters. One of the best tribute albums I have heard in many a day.”
-- Ronnie Norton, Lonesome Highway

“Lewis’ sweet and silky soprano blends with Kallick’s sultry, spicy mezzo-soprano for a honey-mustard combination that is simultaneously accessible and exotic.”
-- Acoustic Guitar
“A nice, simple, traditionalist bluegrass lovefest, with plenty of bouncy melodies and some very fine harmonies by Kallick and Lewis, who were formerly bandmates in the well-beloved Bay Area band, the Good Ol’ Persons. The best thing here is their voices, which compliment each other perfectly. Lewis typically sings a bit on the thin side, but she provides the ideal underpinning for Kallick’s growly purr. This is an excellent album, well worth checking out!”
— Joe Sixpack, Slipcue
“If Thelma and Louise ever made a record, it would be this one! Some of the finest singing and playing to grace the genre.”
