“These two are magic. Who else could give you a beautiful rendition of a traditional Thai song, sung by Shannon in fluent Thai, with it sounding like an Irish trad masterpiece! Brilliant.” –Live Ireland

“an excellent collection… they have a great feel for the subtle quiet aspects of Irish music and a total command of the lilt and swing involved in phrasing it properly. Their version of the oft murdered classic Botany Bay is beautiful. The rest ain’t bad either! Highly recommended.” -Penguin Eggs

 “Musicians and songs ought to be like signatures – not comparable and representative of only one. Make that “two” in the case of Matt & Shannon Heaton. Their latest project is original and full of energy, but mostly their musical offerings have grown to where hearing the pieces makes you think of them – not others like them, but Matt & Shannon only. They have developed an engaging style and it’s been a thrill watching it unfold.” -Folk Alley
