Editorial Reviews ...There are plenty of banjo and fiddle instrumentals [here], but the most inspired performances are gospel tunes....this disc gloriously illustrates the interconnecting currents in the great river of American music... No Depression (01/01/2000)
...There are powerful singers, dandy fiddlers, and stirring gospel harmonizing. [THE VOICE OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS] is a reminder of the importance of the local radio, and a great listen. Dirty Linen (04/01/2000)
