Press Reviews Bluegrass Unlimited,Jan. 2000"...all points in between is the bands first recording and generally a successful debut featuring dynamic singing and supportive instrumentation. While the band's style is anchored in traditional bluegrass, there is a contemporary flavor that seethes throughout."Excerpts from Harold Benfield, Bluegrass Telegraph review, Jan. 2000"None Of The Above is a fine group. They have an excellent sound. Their music is a mixture of bluegrass and old time with a little country and folk thrown in. I did enjoy this CD and look forward to more from this group."Bluegrass News"Gone are the days when bluegrass bands all sounded the same. This is certainly evident when listening to this first-time recording by None Of The Above. These North Carolina boys have a special talent for arranging that makes even traditional tunes like Old Joe Clark sound new and refreshing."Dave Higgs, Bluegrass Breakdown WPLN-FM Nashville, TN"A most interesting mix of tunes played in an engaging fashion. I especially liked the original instrumentals (Paul's Breakdown and Skyline Drive) and the John Hiatt tune, Buffalo River Home (probably my favorite tune on the project). the group did a great job converting it blugrassically."
