"Medford’s Black Record Collection is the collaboration of Michael Davis and Matt Foster, who are storytellers in the same tradition as Nick Drake and Louis L’Amour (if he were a musician). Their folk sounds are breathing new life into traditional music with harmonies of Blue Highway and the raw dirty edge of Johnny Cash." -Helen Yonts, writer, "...refreshingly country with a capital C, with no 'alt', 'electro', 'new', and definitely no 'nu' infiltrating its undiluted backwoods sound." -Molly Kincaid, Metropulse
“Four out of five stars…I’ve not seen an album of this type that does so well at telling a story…‘The Flattville Murder Album’ is storytelling at its best combined with fantastically put together and played music.”-- Indie Matters, Charlotte, NC.
“Every now and then you find a band that has no other agenda than writing great songs...They are unpretentious people playing accessible music, yet their creativity and versatility are astounding.” -- Leah E. Willis, MetroPulse, Knoxville, TN.
"In a musical era of songs as a single unit, Medford's Black Record Collection have created a musical essay complete with beginning, middle and end. The tale is dark. The journey is worth the nightmares that might ensue." -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music.
"...Exquisite mournful vocals...they're making quite a name for themselves in the local scene."
--Steve Wildsmith, The Daily Times, Maryville, TN.
"...Making music that is a part of the fabric of life in this area...they truly are beginning to stand out among the others. Their approach is honest, their music is good, and their future is bright. We are proud to play their tunes."
--Benny Smith, 90.3 "The Rock" WUTK-FM General Manager, Knoxville, TN.
