NEW CD REVIEWS (more here):

A mesmerizing project chock full of energy, excitement, poignancy and musical surprises. It's a boldly original album that looks both forwards and backwards simultaneously using old-time underpinnings to create a killer new sound.
-- Dave Higgs, NASHVILLE PUBLIC RADIO

Five multitalented woman with diverse skills and backgrounds who are as famous for their for devotion to icon Hazel Dickens as they are to presenting their musical offerings with an "in your face rock n roll" attitude…The Stairwell Sisters represent the personification of traditional string music con mucho gusto!
-- ELMORE MAGAZINE

High on raw energy the girls throw off the shackles as they race through opener, Kentucky Winder before settling into a deep smart groove on the gritty Hangman Tree… here is string band fare at its best.
-- MAVERICK MAGAZINE

The Stairwell Sisters lead off with a foot-stomping, hand-clapping instrumental, "Kentucky Winder," showcasing the band's picking and fiddling talents and infectious energy. But the real fun begins when the women add their vocal harmonies to the mix. This collection of originals and old-time folk songs demonstrate the talent of this rompin' and stompin' all-girl string band.
