"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!"

ALWAYS THE THIRD WEEKEND IN OCTOBER!
"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"?"
