| "By coincidence I was planning on featuring a few older Gillis recordings on Bluegrass Cafe today, and boy was I surprised to find 'Swampgrass' waiting for me when I got to the studio. Without even having a chance to listen, I went on the air and put on the song Swampgrass right after the opener, and the phones lit up! The funniest call was from a local musician who was hoping I had just discovered a rare deep catalog song that he might take to his band. Boy was he surprised to find it was brand new! I tell you, there is nothing so refreshing and exciting as some hardcore straight-ahead hard driving bluegrass served up by Larry Gillis. Thank you so much for sending. This one will get played a lot!" Jim Beaver, WHUS Bluegrass Cafe, Connecticut |

| "You advertised a "Hard Driving Bluegrass Band" & that is what I got. Many bands say they are hard driving, but something is lost in the translation. I just loved your project!! On a scale of 1 to 10 this project was a 12!! Your title song "Swampgrass" set the tone for a very quick 47+ minutes of superb music. As a Stanley Bros. fan for many years I was impressed by how much your music sounds like theirs. Your vocals both lead & harmony were superb, your original material sounds as if it was written in the 50's & your instrumental work was exceptional. Each & every song held something special for the listener. After listening to this project 3x in a row my cd playing couldn't take that much excitement. I had to give it a break. While playing your project in the studio my request lines were constantly ringing. "This is the real deal with the real feel: Did I tell you that we loved "Swampgrass"?"
