Album Notes

"Barley Wik is the real thing - they have great energy, strong harmonies, and diverse musical talents. There is a genuine quality in all the band mates that comes across in their music. Barley Wik is not the only girl band on the music scene, but they are one of the best ones to watch."
- Jenny Matechuk, Arts and Entertainment Reporter, Go! Magazine, CHTV

"Barley Wik amalgamate [their] cultural and musical styles to create a unique flavor. Their breath-taking three part harmonies flow seamlessly adding depth to their reverently respectful covers and to their original compositions. These four women play a wide range of instruments, (including double bass, mandolin, guitar, drums accordian, banjo) and weave intricate and interesting tales like the best storytellers do!"
-Sheryl McKay, North by Northwest, CBC Radio
