"WOW, what a show! This was one of those jaw-droppingly excellent editions of the "Backyard Rocker," where the musical guests took the program on a musical free-for-all joyride that made the show's host regretful when the program's end time of 10 PM rolled around!"
- Jim Price, BackYard Rocker (Apr 20, 2008)
