“Blue Ribbon Waltz
is the real deal as the Hunger Mountain Boys have recreated
those early days of country
music through expert musicianship, joyous vocals and quality
originals and classic material. Well done!

“It is only the sonic clearity and warmth of their
recording that makes you realize that you are not actually
living in the past, but hearing its immaculate recreation.....These
guys believe.”

/ #120, OCT/NOV 2005
“This duet is ready to take lovers of bluegrass and
early country music by storm. Their show is alive with
the spirit of the early performers, and you can feel their
love for what they do. Entertaining teamwork;
first class musicianship and singing; good, heartfelt and
sometimes funny material, with some excellent
new songs in the old style. What a combination! It makes
me wish they had a 15-minute radio show I could
listen to every day.”

“DR. BANJO” WERNICK / SEPT. 2005
“Their unabashed stage show is one not to miss.”
THE
WOODSTOCK TIMES / WOODSTOCK, NY
“The smartly-suited duet ripped out traditional country
and original songs at a furious pace, spitting out
lyrics so rapidly that, at times, it was difficult to keep
up. To make it even more interesting, the duet frequently
changed instruments.“

JOURNAL / MORNING SENTINEL, ME / SEPT 12, 2005
“The Hunger Mountain Boys could have easily been performing
sixty years ago instead of at the beginning
of the twenty-first century… Fashioned in the Old
Way features plenty of the old-style duo singing, guaranteed
to raise goosebumps. Expect to hear much more from the Hunger
Mountain Boys.”
