"Susie is justifiably endorsed by Appalachian music legend Jean Ritchie, and the band has a fine repertoire of beyond-bluegrass originals from its chief songwriter, Rob Carlson. They can take you up in the hollars, or sound like a female-fronted Asleep at the Wheel." -- Larry Wines for Folkworks
KCSN writes: "Susie Glaze does something with a song that only great singers can do...she grabs hold of a song''s deepest emotion and purpose and wraps it tightly around your soul."
Folk music legend Jean Ritchie has called Susie Glaze "a fresh young voice - a communicator - to me the most important of qualities in a singer.."the wonderful thing to me is that when I hear your recording of any song of mine ("L&N" definitely included), I feel as though it is myself, singing...It cannot be sung better - differently, but never better."
...and Bluegrass Unlimited calls her "an important voice on the California Bluegrass scene."
Winner of the Just Plain Folks 2006 Music Award for Best Roots Album, and Folkworks Magazine''s Pick for Best Bluegrass Album of 2005 for "Blue Eyed Darlin.''"
