"Paul Friedman and Jody Kruskal are two musicians ideally suited to perform together. They have an uncanny sense of each other’s style - that all comes through on this fine recording. What a refreshing sound!... A perfect pairing of concertina and fiddle.” SING OUT!
"a suitably quirky collection of American tunes and songs with Paul's sweet-tempered fiddle playfully energized by jody's anglo concertina, a combo that is like something mike seeger would have dreamed up on a good day" - PETE SUTHERLAND
“Just want to let you both know how much I'm enjoying your CD. Beautiful stuff, beautifully played. A very pure strain of old-time. "Been All Round This World," "Yankee Squirrel Hunter," "Rain and Snow," "Cuckoo's Nest"--terrific.” - BILL CHRISTOPHERSEN
“I sang along with most of the songs you played last night, and though I had heard them before, you made them sound fresh and new. There is an authenticity to your presentation that made me feel like I heard those great old songs again for the first time.“ - LINDA
“Jody, I listen to the CD several times a week because it has so many wonderful renditions of old stuff--- it's nostalgic and fresh, a great combination. My faves, though all are terrific - Wreck of the Six Wheeler and Rain and Snow. I've heard so many versions of the latter, including a great one in the parking lot in Galax, West Virginia in 1963 sung by Obray Ramsey. Yours really holds up - your timing is so fine on that.” - NANCY
We’ve been basking in the good feelings from last night’s house concert. A few people called and emailed today to say how much the enjoyed the music. Your playing is an inspiration to me, and it was so enjoyable to hear Paul.” - BETH & DAN
“Paul & Jody- Thank you SO MUCH for an incredible concert - I knew you’d be good, but I didn’t know how good!” - PENELOPE
