Upon reviewing BT's Picker's Paridise CD, Les McIntyre of Bluegrass Unlimited said: "This is certainly one bluegrass collection that should not be overlooked."

"Buncombe Turnpike, with an exciting sound that is already turning heads, has a future that surely will include new fans, and, of course, more stories to tell." Timothy Jones, Bluegrass Now.

"These lovely Blue Ridge mountains feel like a cradle and your music is a beautiful lullaby." Mary Nichols, Asheville NC.

"Buncombe Turnpike has found that pencil thin line between traditional and contemporary bluegrass and made it their home." Julie Koehler, Bluegrass Unlimited
