Bluegrass. For some, it is a group lingering together on a front porch, music ringing from a rustic place that is both here and now, yet somehow lost in time. For others, it is heard under the bright lights on the stages of festivals that dot the country throughout the year.

When I first heard Tommy Brown and the County Line Grass, I knew right away that I was hearing the very essence of why bluegrass is a cornerstone of American music.

You hear it in Tommy Brown, who sings with a sincerity that makes you stop and listen to the stories these songs tell. You hear it in the classic ringing of Tommy’s archtop banjo, to the rock solid bass of daughter Rachel Brown. You hear it in all the voices on this record, from Josh Rinkel’s lead vocal on ‘No One Like You,’ to the soulful harmonies of Wayne Fyffe and son Jereme Brown throughout the record.

Yes indeed friends, you are holding in your hands a mighty fine bluegrass record. On it you will hear a collection of acoustic instruments that unite seamlessly with heartfelt singing to create the two elements of all timeless music – heart and soul. Two things that Tommy Brown and the Country Grass Line have in abundance. - James Zurek, The Palominos
