"This is the first project from Rock County but the members of this band have been around the block more than once. Serving time with many great bluegrass outfits including (but not limited too), The Lonesome River Band, The Reno Brothers, Longview, Lonesome Standard Time and Unlimited Tradition. They have proven themselves to be excellent vocalists and instrumentalists in the past. This album is a solid effort, a good starting point for the band. But I felt that they played it safe a little too much. I expected more songs written by these high profile artists that have proven they can write their own material and deliver it with gusto, but they went elsewhere for all but two of the tracks. Perhaps they needed to feel each other out a bit. Highlights include "Turn it On - Turn It On - Turn It On" and the sentimental "It'll Get You Where Your Going". There are many great vocal moments and harmonies that will send chills up your spine. I can't wait for the follow up and hope to see them live soon. if you like bluegrass you will enjoy this CD."
