"Yes Sir, that there is called 'You're Killin Me', by a band called, Waitin On A Train, ........I love it! It's loud! It means somethin' and they're feelin' it when they're playin' it. And I just can't get enough of that. On the weekends I do play that several times around my home... when I'm gettin' all kinds of fired up, I put that one on ............. "
Wichita Rutherford, The Grand Old Time Machine, Serius/XM Bluegrass Channel, after playing 'You're Killin Me' 6-19-2009
“…I am most impressed with the amount of energy put into their performance. The instruments are played hard and the vocals often reach a fevered pitch…..” Walt Crider - President, Seven Mountains Bluegrass Association
" .... Waitin on a Train plays acoustic Appalachian folk-and-bluegrass-inspired music with a modern rock-and-punk-influenced rhythm and vocal delivery. Their debut album, 2006's In the Path of Pain, featured entirely original material, though they play with an assured mastery of the idioms they're modernizing" Richie Unterberger All Music Guide --

"...fresh sound that is both original yet firmly rooted in the traditional music of the Appalachian mountains. They reinvent the classic bluegrass harmony sound their own way, a rough-hewn jumble of American music served up with verve and spit. More like the Holy Modal Rounders than the Nashville Bluegrass Band...."-Rick Noll, Bona Fide Records- bonafide blog
"waiting on a train put on the highest energy most intimate set ever at the First Capital Dispensing Co and shook the floor with the hootin hollerin and dancing. fun times. fun sets. the fans would not let them stop playing. (and bought all their cd's too) "

"Waitin' On A Train is about as old school -- in a good way -- as they come, and its members (Tony Staub, Paul Wykowski and Adam Sullivan) draw on the influences of Appalachian bluegrass/country music. Their sound is fresh and original, though it's deeply rooted in its predecessors."-ALEXIS DOW
