" .. they certainly chose some great sources to learn from. And it doesn't just have some good singing-almost every song is a gem ......
Even if you think you know all of these songs and would probably prefer the original recordings to any possible modern cover you ought to buy this CD." Pete Peterson The Old Time Herald
“Arnie and Kathy sound like they have been singing their whole lives...and they pretty much have. This is a wonderful and tasteful collection of songs and old time harmony duets.” David Holt
“Down Harmony Road” is old time music at it’s finest. Kathy and Arnie make old songs new while demonstrating their love and virtuosity of playing and singing styles along with good taste and accessible arrangements. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather listen to." Cathy Fink
"Wow, what a nice recording! One of the interests I have is in the ability of performers to create a good sound with a minimum of instruments and studio special work. I think that this Saturday's show will feature duet singing, with your disc showcased as a prime example."
Mark Richardson - Host of "Roots For Breakfast" WFHB
This recording is dedicated in memory of our dear friend and
artist John Martin who illustrated the amazing cover of this CD.
