BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED Review: " Gordon Titcomb is a very talented multiinstrumentalist...Overall, there's much to enjoy on this album..."
SINGOUT Magazine Review: "... well crafted songs...the album is over way too fast."
ALL MUSIC GUIDE ( AMG.com): "...Titcomb can go from a mature divorce song like "If It Were Up to Me" to an up-tempo bluegrass workout like "Gold Plated Love" with ease."
AMAZON.COM - Joe Ross ( Bluegrass Now Reviewer): "...Best known for his work on mandolin and pedal steel, Titcomb is also a solid guitar, dobro and banjo player. Fine examples of his picking pyrotechnics are found in the banjo breaks on "Gold Plated Love" and "Snake River." Gordon's high-octane mandolin break on "Snicker Doodle" would easily bring up prices at the pump."
FOLKWAX MAGAZINE Review:. "Top Pick".. solid Folk/Country material well crafted and well sung.."
