Reviews

"Hawker and Justice may not be as well known as Emmylou Harris, but like that country stalwart, their mellow voices are simultaneously temperate and striking. Their singing is free of twang but full of bittersweet inflections, which highlight the enduring beauty of these old-fashioned songs.” - CMJ New Music Report
“Combine great singing, timeless material, mature musicianship, inspired arrangements, judicious engineering and mixing, and a soulful edge, and this is what you get.” - Goldenseal Magazine
