"I don't know who they are but Limestone and Joy are far-out. Most groups do one thing but L&J do it all. There's ballads but they aren't serious, there is hard rock, warped blues, space music and Dylanesque. They use guitars and drums but there is also keyboard playing which sounds like the musings of a very intelligent monkey, and that is a compliment since I never liked Herbie Hancock very much although his singing is good. That's a joke, and in the spirit of what is going on here. It's cool music for a hot day in the Colorado mountains. I guess Nashville is a pretty rockin' place after all. I want to see them live. The bass playing and drumming is all good too. Someone do as Todd Rundgren suggested long ago and "throw money" at these folks."

If this doesn't blow your mind, you've left it at home!

"Awesome debut of one of the trippiest bands around. If you love Hawkwind and Pink Floyd, you will absolutely dig this! Ethereal space rock sounds with a healthy dose of down home folkiness, this band is ready to explore the next dimension! Especially cool is "Trash Can" and "The Mother of All Battles". The excellent musicianship of this wonderful pairing is evident. Don't miss this one if you are a space rock fan!!!! If you're ever in Nashville (they are planning a tour of the South this summer), make sure you check out a live show. You will NOT be disappointed!"
