"The festival to end all festivals, on an outstanding 2-disc set." ~ Maria Morgan Davis, Lonesome Road Review 

 

“The compilation is nothing short of awesome, mixing the European and American bluegrass families to give the world this most complete ‘taste’ of the bluegrass genre."

~ R.W. Shamy, TwangCast Media, Georgetown, Texas

 

"The music is all first class, features some multinational collaborations, and proves that bluegrass isn’t just an American domain, and that the Czech and Slovak Republics can certainly give Kentucky a run for their money."

~ Stewart Fenwick, Country Music & Dance in Scotland Magazine; Celtic Radio, Scotland

"A fabulous collection showcasing incredible talent and commitment to traditional bluegrass. The most pleasant surprise is the high level of musicianship evident in the European bands. These musicians have done their homework and they clearly demonstrate a remarkable ability to understand and play the subtle fundamentals of a complex music born so many miles from their home." ~ Bob Mitchell, Louisville Music News, Kentucky, *****5-star review*****

Best of Bluegrass, Radio Bluegrass International, WFPK-FM, Louisville, Kentucky
