All Around the Mountain was recently the subject of a front-page
feature in The North Creek News Enterprise, a local paper from the
heart of the Adirondacks. Reviewer Katy Odell wrote: "Tom and Neil
perform with an ease that comes only from years of playing together.
Their blend of harmonies, their solo turns, the pleasing melding of
their voices and instruments seems effortless."
