Charlie Gillett, BBC, London:" Of all the music The Be Good Tanyas gave me, my favourite is The Maybelles. They might be the great grand daughters of country singers from the 1930's"

Sing Out! says:

"The Maybelles are a trio of talented young women.with a dynamic string band sound. enerrgetic, hauntingly beautiful, humorous, old time roots.songs that emanate from a place and time long ago - 'Leavin' Town is a lovely collection of newly composed and classic songs about the rural south."

Mikael Wood, Village Voice featuring The Maybelles/Nickel Creek/The Duhks

"A triumph for equal-opportunity bluegrassers. Never once sinks into mere bluegrass reverence"(feature article The Maybelles/Nickel Creek/The Duhks)



Dave Higgs, Nashville Public Radio - Bluegrass Breakdown.

"I love bands that are willing to explore new territory. I love the instrumental combination, the old-time real country feel, the close harmonies and the sprightly fiddle playing. I think you all are onto something big.
