"Every single track is just bursting with good-time feel, and it’s impossible to do justice in words to the tremendous, intricate musicianship that brings new ideas to the old music. Allison’s banjo chops take her from the driven to the generously understated, and sparkle especially when in direct partnership with Bruce’s fearsome fiddling. Stash’s riffs and fills can seem a touch strange, but they fit into the ensemble really well and considering his background in punk/metal he shows himself here to be a commanding yet sensitive exponent of the guitar.. . .iin truth there’s never a dull moment, every track sparks, so you really do need to hear this music for yourself, it’s brilliant." FATEA Review of Closing the Gap - David Kidman
