"Two-Timin' ... matches its predecessor's brilliance by combining top-notch instrumentalists with stunning vocals. The six members prove to be equally adept at both interpreting and writing songs that reflect our country's unique acoustic heritage ... but you would be hard pressed to pick [out the original compositions] from their traditional counterparts without looking at the writing credits in the liner notes. This is extremely high praise for a group that takes so much inspiration from the music of the past."

"With the beautiful simplicity and harmony of the Carter Family,
the passion of Ralph Stanley, the eccentric quirks of Dock Boggs
and instrumentalism of John Jackson,
this group of 6 un-grizzled, un-calloused musicians ... has single-handedly
restored my dream of old Virginia."
