Reviews for "Kane's River" by Kane's River
"Kane’s River provides superior examples of using original material to establish a world-class bluegrass sound that abounds with originality and excellence, and exhibits the very finest qualities of musicianship, song selection, and a certain unquantifiable essence called 'soul' that is sorely lacking in most other new bluegrass bands’ recordings."

"Kane’s River is exactly what their name implies--a refreshing pool of talent, energy and creativity. Simply stated, Kane’s River represents the best of the new talent emerging on the bluegrass scene today."
Terry Herd, Bluegrass Radio Network
"If I had to pick a couple of songs as highlights, I think I’d point out tracks 1, 2 and 3-11. Yes, folks, the material really is that good. It’s not just the material but the arrangements that are unique and fresh while at the same time lending an air of familiarity. Some of these songs sound like classics. And given time, I’m sure they will be."
Brance Gillihan, Flatpicking Guitar Magazine
