“This album sounds great. And Yellowhammers are the sort of crafty, more-than-meets-the-eye roots rockin’ outfit that is a nice fit for producer Jon Langford. Everything sounds so simple, and yet the iceberg lurks just beneath the surface. This sounds like an easy rollin’ evening, but there are storms on the horizon. Boy, I like their style.”                                                                                       _Aiding & Abetting

“The band’s latest long-player finds Langford applying lessons learned to Yellowhammers’ well-traipsed home grown style, taking a jaunty spin on “Everybody’s Joking,” purveying a hillbilly ramble for “St. Clair, The Cop and Ann Marie” and garnering some easy appeal of the back porch variety via “Women Strong.” Something in that Chicago water supply must be conducive to a down home delivery, given that the esteemed Bloodshot Records and various members of their alt-country collective all call the city home. And after hearing Yellowhammers nail the good old boy sentiments of “C’mon Elvis” and a rustic redo of R.E.M.’s “(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville,” one starts to suspect that perhaps the city’s south side is actually the northern annex of Dixie.”                       LEE ZIMMERMAN _Blurt-on line

“Americana at its finest: Harmonica, grit and poetry…” _OnMilwaukee.com

“The record is super, the tunes are timeless…” _Static Multimedia

“A pleasant blend, the foundation of American music”. _The Deli Magazine

“Yellowhammers is rife with upbeat ditties, including a tribute to Elvis Presley that’s sure to please anyone…” _A.V. Club

”’St. Clair, the Cop and Anne Marie’ caught my ear because it’s a story song, it has a lot of Chicago references and it’s kind of, you know… dark.”    RICHARD MILNE _WXRT

“There are vocal hints of James McMurtry and Michael McDermott and, instrumentally, it’s as if a group of front porch musicians called their rocker friends and joined the parade down the street. Fiddles, banjo and harmonica join in with guitars and a marching band tuba to create something that comes close to truly original.”                _Kenosha Press
