• Old-time music lovers and pickers, let me share my trembling heart. I went to a bluegrass house concert that I will never recover from. I swoon!... The salts!... The band, Lee Highway, is it. They are... the finest traditional style bluegrass band I've ever heard live. As one of them said, they manifest "Hobbies Gone Wild!" They are all the cream of the scene, topnotch instrumental technicians (outstanding bass), lovingly self-schooled in the older sounds and aesthetic, encyclopedic in their knowledge, creative, spontaneous. Second best of all, they live, artistically, in the 1940s-50s of bluegrass and country that gets the ole argyles to furl. First best, I've never heard a musical ensemble calmly, confidently, joyfully hit the ground running with each tune or song.
  
  The entire group was tight together, on the beat, full beautiful orchestration and sound displaying, up to speed and nailing it. Every note thereafter shone and glittered right where they left it nailed dead on the mark. Hell, my argyles were hanging up on my goosebumps!

• Regarding "Bluegrass Music" and "When He Reached Down His Hand For Me", Al Shusterman of KCBL in Sacramento, CA says: "The songs in these cds are the "real deal". "From the first note of each project until the last note is completed, both of these projects just barrel ahead at 100mph. Many of the songs on these projects are bluegrass classics and you have given them new life."

• "If an audience loves PURE, TRADITIONAL Bluegrass music, Lee Highway is there to deliver it. With tight vocals, high-level instrumentals and fantastic stage presence, Lee Highway works it's way through their set-list with the confidence and ease!The audience can always count on a fantastic show from Lee Highway."

• Now here is a band to be reckoned with. Rich's vocals just knock me out. He sounds like Lester Flatt when Lester was very young and in his prime. Between John Averill burning it up on the mandolin and delivering those great high tenor harmonies and Mike Eislers "eat your heart out Kenny Baker/Buddy Spicher fiddling," you had to ask yourself, how could they do better than that. Up steps Mike Stahlman on the banjo and just played the perfect Earl Scruggs banjo licks; and his back-up banjo is second to nobody's. If that wasn't enough, he picks up the guitar and does 4 great old Earl Scruggs guitar oriented songs, that you could close your eyes and swear it was Earl on the guitar. Holding it all together was the other great female bass player in the Pacific Northwest, Sue Averill, John's wife.

• Having been raised in Virginia and West Virginia, I listened to the old time roots style bluegrass for years. My friends, you have taken me back to that era and in style! The vocals and harmony were outstanding and the musical talents of your group are awesome. Please let Mike Eisler know that I have never heard better fiddle playing in all of my 58 years on this planet.
