Professional Reviews

Q (8/95, p.119) - 3 Stars - Good - "...all [tracks are] treated to the family's distinctive bluegrass harmonies and instrumentation, with Suzanne's lead vocal contributions reminiscent of Dolly Parton. Alison Krauss handles production and arrangements--adding a number of extra musicians but maintaining the essence of the group in the spacious feel."

Sing Out! (8-10/95, p.129) - "...The two generations of Coxes bring a wide spectrum of musical taste to the group, as reflected in the diverse menu served up here..."

Mojo (Publisher) (7/95, p.117) - "...the most traditional and...the hippest group in country music today....Most of the material here is drawn from the past 50 years of country music - from AP Carter's 'I'll Be All Smiles Tonight'...to John Sebastian's 'Lovin' You'..."
