"This CD is a tremendous addition to Volumns 1 and 2. The musical arrangements of familiar songs is wonderful. The sounds of the handmade instruments are truly pleasing to the ear. This CD would be highly recommended as soothing, relaxing background music as well as good ol' foot stomping music. The fact that the entire album is instrumental is a definite plus. I highly recommend the purchase if this album."
Wonderful Music

"The final edition of the Smoky Mountain Hymn trilogy, this is a wonderful CD filled with old-fashioned hymns played with original mountain instruments. The music is played with great skill by the artists and is truly a unique sound that is very soothing. I would highly recommend this wonderful CD to anyone interested in a very different southern gospel sound that you won't hear anywhere else"
The Best

"These albums, smokey mountain hymns vol 1-3 (all instrumentals) are some of the very best that Craig Duncan has done. Teaming up with Jack Jezzro makes an incredible combination which results in creative arrangements played with wonderful technical ability. Vol 3 is the best in my opinion. I purchased these as tapes back in the early 90's when they were first released, have rediscovered them and decided to buy the cds since the tapes are aging. There is a volume 4 put out under the same "series" but it is done by another group of musicians (you won't be able to tell by the label) and it is not nearly as good. I was very disappointed when I got it. The duo team up on another album called Smokey Mountain Sunday which is also very good and has a killer version of "swing low sweet chariot" and haunting version of "what wonderous love is this". Craig also sings two of his own compositions on it."
