10 YEARS OF EUROPEAN WORLD OF BLUEGRASS: "It's hard not to become excited when you hear from Liz Meyer. She's been working for years - 10 years - to promote Bluegrass in Europe. Meyer's efforts have culminated in the release of this live 2 CD collection."
- Jim Blum, Folk Alley radio host, Folk Music blog
