Praise for Treat A Stranger Right
"Love that Western Carolina sound. Beautiful harmonies! I'm so happy to see REAL folk music getting some recognition." - Ken Nagelberg, DJ

"The new album is WONDERFUL!!! I received it yesterday and glad it's not vinyl because it would be worn out already =) ...and thanks for signing and sending with the personal note. That makes it extra special and a lot of extra work if you did that for the tens of thousands you must have sold already. (OK...wishful thinking but folks really need to buy this rather than stream.) I find CD's to be more convenient actually and much more likely to be played more than streaming but I suppose it's the new way.
