The band also enjoyed huge success with their song "12 More Miles to Clatskanie" with the CityLove Music contest - where the song put this little Oregon town ON THE MAP! , Recently, a partnership with Brian Farrish Radio Promotions was begun in order to get the bands music out to an even wider audience. , Whether it's the high mournful old-country sound of Dennis Nelson, the storytelling baritone of Tom Tower, the vocal and instrumental virtuosity of Tim Crosby or the high energy sincerity of Kathy Boyd herself, this band offers something for everyone. , The bands goal is to continue to grow and expand our performance area.

    Here's what folks have had to say about our music ...... , If anyone needs inspiration this project has it in spades. From the pulsating sound of "Cast the First Stone" until the last note of "Thanksgiving" you are treated to almost 35 minutes of thought provoking inspirational songs. The entire project yells out, "Listen to me. I have something important to say". Everything about this project is first class; exceptional singing, & first class instrumental work. This project needs to be played several time to fully grasp the lyrics of each song. I played the CD in its entirety & all was quiet until the CD was completed. The requests started to come in after that time. I was told by my listeners that they didn't want to disturb the feeling they had while the CD was playing. Why mess with success. A sure fire winner!! (P.S. Kudos to Tom Tower...on a scale of 1 to 10 he was a 12!) ~ Al Schusterman, KCBL Backroads in Bluegrass, Sacramento, CA , All of the songs on "Walk Humbly" are still at the sinking in stage for me but, "WOW!!" has already percolated back to the top! The writing is superb! The music leaves me wanting to listen more! The singing and harmony, well, it is classic Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising! ~ Eric Cole, NW Territory Bluegrass - World Wide Bluegrass , "Many thanks for sending us a copy of Stories Never Told which I have been thoroughly enjoying. You all have definitely etched out your own unique sound and have written some truly memorable material which you play with some real enthusiasm and excitement. I especially enjoyed "Living In Those Hills So Far Away," "Oh the Dreadful Wind and Rain," "Uncle Whiskey" and the humorous "Bigfoot Jubilee" and "Karaoke Cowboy," which I feel confident are crowd favorites. , Thanks again for the fine tunes-I'll be doing my best to get the word out in Nashville and in our other syndicated locations."~ Dave Higgs, Nashville Public Radio Bluegrass Breakdown Bluegrass Association Bluegrass Gazette, Summer 2007 , "For me, and I know, too, for our listening audience, it's always a sheer fresh-air delight to hear good quality music with lyrics with rich meaning, and that's where your album comes in!" ~ Geoff Morris, Wall-to-Wall Bluegrass on the WWB , "I just listened to your "Burning Down the House" CD. Awesome! Sometimes the CD just isn't the same as live. You guys come real close to live in the CD and I just love that "Rhubarb Pie" song. Not only do you have a sweet Dobro moan going but also a great beat. I love the way you mix in stacatto licks and chops with the cool slide licks. I must play this song. Big Fan" ~ Tom Telford , "Oh my DEAR! I loooooovvvvveeee it! In fact, I'm playing it right now -- and until someone complains -- I'll keep playing it -- how great is that! Thanks so much." ~ Cat Zimmerman, Alzheimer's Association
