"Appalachian Trail" is undoubtedly the band's most triumphant recording to date."
~ Bluegrass Unlmited
The songs are tough, taut and fraught with some simply amazing words, subject matters and imagery. And the band plays with some real fire and gusto. Now this is the way edgy bluegrass should sound! Beth's soaring, bluesy vocals add another whole dimension to your already multi-faceted sound. ~ Dave Higgs, Host of NPR’s "Bluegrass Breakdown"
Beth Walker, the new lead singer, has to be heard to be believed. Think Janis Joplin reincarnated as a bluesy mountain singer. ~ Keith Lawrence, Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer
These tunes are up-beat, energetic, and rousingly high-spirited, the lyrics fresh, wry, witty, intelligent, and chock-full of good-natured mischief. If the Beatles were reincarnated as 21st Century punkabilly Kentuckians, they'd probably sound a whole lot like the Blind Corn Liquor Pickers. ~ Ed McClanahan (novelist, Merry Prankster) for The Nougat
Call them bluegrass postmodernists if you must. Jokey, ironic, swept up in explorations of sometimes preposterous fears, insecurities and fancies, they offer up familiar themes and then jerk them sharply leftward. When you've recovered from the shock -- if you haven't already been tossed out the window -- you're positioned to enjoy the rest of the ride. Jerome Clark, Rambles.Net
The Blind Corn Liquor Pickers play what can only be called rowdy, party-time bluegrass-rock...it makes for a heck of a ride. ~ Mare Wakefield, Performing Songwriter
The recording defies description so you need to give it a listen to appreciate the genius behind it. ~ Bluegrass Now, "For the Records"
If its down home, shit kicking, fast picking that you like then The Blind Corn Liquor Pickers should whet your appetite (or maybe I should say quench your thirst)...mixing it up with an energetic jam-grass sensibility that's steeped in a good-time vibe...they've got some great original songs. What these guys deliver should delight traditionalist and fans of more adventurous jam-grass bands. It's honest, fun and foot stomping! ~ Mick Skidmore, KyndMusic.com / Relix Magazine
The songs are packed so tight you couldn't get a half a bar free to sip your beer in. Even the mournful finale of "8-Ball" wastes not a single bit of forward energy in carrying the tune and lyric from the beginning to the end. It's the kind of song Johnny Cash could have sung. It's music that sounds like it's been distilled and purified though three generations at least. Confident, effortless and irresistible, you would have to have a heart of coal and dancing shoes of lead not to fall in love with this stuff. ~Sam Saunders, Whisperin & Hollerin on Anywhere Else
