"First time I heard these girls, I was totally blown away. Their sound is so unique. What harmony! Could sit and listen to them forever and forever. That accordion is haunting. And Carol with that clawhammer banjo and that voice of hers! Wow. These girls are all truly truly talented. And they are super human beings. I have just about worn out this CD. I have an autographed 8 X 10 picture of them hanging in a place of honor. You definitely won't nor could you possibly be disappointed with any song on the cd. Chris and that fiddle can take you somewhere if you close your eyes. Laura on the bass. And best of all, you know they enjoy making this music for us. Such sonwriting!"

"My wife was tending to a patient at the local hospital when he offered her this CD. He said he's the "proud father" of one of the members of the band. We fell in love with the CD immediately. Now we fight over who gets to listen to it on the way to & from work. This isn't a hit & miss album like most are today. Every track has it's own unique vocals and sounds; some of the best blue grass I've enjoyed. Highly recommended. Can't wait for their next album!"
Great Country/Bluegrass music

"Well make that country, bluegrass, folk, you name it. These ladies cover a wide range, which makes for a great album. This is one of the few country bands being really innovative. It's nice to see artist crossing boundaries in the name of good music. My favorite off this CD is "Real As A Dream" but their cover of "If I Needed You" is fantastic."
Interesting style

"This is a great band with a very interesting style. It's kind of a mix of blue grass, country, folk, and Celtic. I love relaxing to this CD on the weekend. This is one of the best new bands I've heard in quite a while."

"This album will make the hair on your arms stand up. It includes some wonderful original songs written by the band members as well as some traditional folk/bluegrass tunes that wil have you singing along in no time. I think this band is going places. Their harmonious voices blend beautifully. I strongly recommend this CD. You won't be sorry. I only wish they would do another CD. I had to see them in concert after listening to the CD and they are fabulous in concert as well."
