'Rootsy Duo Take CNP Stage' Crowsnest Pass Promotor
from fall to fall
"... a rootsy, blue-collar folk mix of snappy shufflers ( Wolves, Boys of East Boleyn), sullen ballads ( Fight, She's Gone), and the exquisite interplay of Stone's accented vocals, MacKay's angelic harmonies and Zubot's bittersweet violin." Sandra Sperounes, Edmonton Journal
“A beauty of a record: you can hear the sweep of the prairie hills in
these songs in the soaring melodies; the way the rolling clouds
swiftly show up in the sky, these songs drift in to your day and stay
there. And you are grateful for these songs. The way Peter and
Denise's voices work together reminds you of Damien and Lisa, of Glen
and Marketa. The skilled and deft work of violinist Scott Zubot plays
well as the third voice in this buoyant rootsy song cycle. Highly
recommended!” Luka Symons, CKUA
