Praise for Black Crown Stringband’s EP:

“Blistering… a near perfect example of that high lonesome sound… 8 out of 10”
— Americana UK

“On their new eponymous EP, Black Crown Stringband gets it right. Here are seven tracks of dark joy that carry the listener back to the lonesome hills of home. Like Portland’s Foghorn before them, these upstart Californians till the fertile bottom lands that lie between old-time and bluegrass, creating a vintage, primal wall of sound. This release is an important contribution to the ongoing old-time revival here on the West Coast.”
— Fiddlefreak Folk Music Blog

"Raw and raucus...”
— Bluegrass Journal

“Black Crown Stringband’s fusion of old time and bluegrass merges the best elements of both styles. ….a real treat.”
— Bluegrass Breakdown
