WHAT THE "CRITICS" SAY

Skillet Licorice transport you back in time to the realm of old-time raggy stringband music like no other band that I know of today.
They play with the finesse, virtuosity and mojo of the great players from the 20s and 30s.
 It's as if the East Texas Serenaders stepped out of a time machine for your musical titillation and edification. 
David Bragger - Curator & Producer of The Old-Time Tiki Parlour

 This excellent recording not only shows off the duo’s command of their instruments and the genre 
but gives an indication that in this twenty first century the old music is being kept alive and is thriving, 
albeit with a modern touch, something that is so important now that the originators are long gone. 
It is musicians such as these that have the skill to not only play in the tradition but to bring their own 
individuality to the genre which surely is what ‘folk’ music is all about. 
Mike Morrison – AmericanarootsUK 

Engelberg’s fiddle shines throughout, especially on “Dream Shadows” and “McKinney Waltz.” 
Old-time and ragtime aficionados will enjoy breakdowns and blues from this talented duo. 
Bluegrass Unlimited 

 Skillet Licorice’s debut recording is full of clever 
arrangements, hot licks, slippery melodies, and enough of their 
musical pals to make it a party – plus a sprinkling of sweet modern 
flair that really sets it apart from the average old-time revivalist fare. 
David Murray – Grammy Award-Nominated Producer 

AAAA++++ Mighty fine.  Great playing, great sounding and great fun. 
Cuzin Al – Legendary Bluegrass DJ KFAT KPIG
