Guitar Edge Magazine names guitarist Aaron Moreland as one of "10 Blues Legends in the Making!"
..."three young visionaries with their axes firmly planted in a rich juke joint and back porch tradition."
Mark E. Gallo - Blues Bytes
“In a world of musical perfection, Moreland and Arbuckle’s raw distorted tones are more than refreshing. Unshaven and at times coarse, Aaron Moreland’s dense and primitive guitar grooves combined with Dustin Arbuckle’s raspy vocals and edgy harmonica fire up their earthy, rural blues."
Art Tipaldi -- Contributing Editor, Blues Revue and Blues Wax
"...the music on "1861" roars out at you like a tornado cutting a path through the great plains. From the opening notes of "Gonna Send You Back to Georgia" this music grabs you and refuses to let go, pulling you along on a joyous roots ride."
Brett Flemming-- WEVL Memphis
"From the heartland of America, these young men bring to the table a powerful devil’s potion of Delta, hill-country, and postwar electrified blues, all rolled into one... With "1861," Moreland and Arbuckle come across as a brilliant, youthful duo with a deep understanding of the paths traveled by the masters from whom they have very ably adapted their contemporary sound."
Don Crow -- Music City Blues
"It’s hard to believe, but the best merger of Mississippi Hill Country blues, Delta blues, and rural blues in years may come from a duo from Kansas. 1861 is an electrifying set that will earn a spot on your stereo’s regular rotation for a long time with their fresh interpretation of old classics and new songs that fit seamlessly with the old. These guys mean business!"
