    “ There isn’t a single song on Little Bit of Texas that doesn’t have the potential to get stuck in your head, which is a lot more than I can say about a lot of the biggest chart-toppers in or outside of the Nashville scene this year.” - Garth Thomas

    — Hollywood Digest

    “In a sea of Bob Wills emulators it's refreshing to find the folks who don't mind putting their own stamp on the genre! The driver of this group is just such a "folk" ”
