Excerpt below from Bluegrass Unlimited May, 2005

"One particular highlight is "Highway To Heaven"/"Goodbye Little Joe," which is a tribute to the late Michael Landon who played Little Joe Cartwright on the TV western series Bonanza. The Locust Mountain Boys have created an impressive collection of mainstream bluegrass that is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish."
