Dave Cantrell's Review page on Bluegrassmountain.com
ReviewJim Callicott of the Tennessee Star Journal writes, "If Vince Gill ever heard Dave Cantrell sing, he would lock himself up in the bathroom and all the Amy Grants in the world would`nt get him out".
ReviewFred Bartenstein, bluegrass historian and radio and web host states, "Dave Cantrell has an excellent voice, writes interesting songs, and has achieved an excellent sounding recording".
ReviewJason Hooker of bluegrassworks.com - "Take Me Back" is a great blend of old style bluegrass and new style writing."
ReviewGracie Muldoon, syndicated web and radio Dj- "I'd said that I enjoyed Dave's rendition of Never Leave Harlan Alive - almost as much as Patty Loveless' version. I dont think anything is better than her rendition of that particular song, though. I dont believe anyone sings that song better than Patty - but Daves' version is definitely up there in the top 3 versions I've heard of".
ReviewRichard White DJ, WQSV Ashland City Tenn.- "We need more folks like you- just wish the industry would be more receptive to real country and gospel music,"like it was in `52"...". Quote from "They Don`t Make Country Music".
Dave sings all the lead vocals, and most of the harmonies, and plays guitar on everything except the break in "They Don`t make Country Music". Steve Ison plays mandolin and sings some harmonies, and plays lead guitar on "They Don`t make Country Music". This project was recorded on an MCI 24 track reel to reel tape recorder, giving it that warm, vintage sound. Who needs digital.
