---County Sales Review
Common Ground is hailed as being a “remarkable bluegrass quartet”, by Les McIntyre in the November 2008 issue of Bluegrass Unlimited magazine. Les goes on to say that the group has “created a marvelous collection of bluegrass music”, with their new release titled “One For The Road”.
---Bluegrass Unlimited (Les McIntyre)
Bluegrass Music Profiles’s own Charlie Hall, in the November/December 2008 issue of the magazine, says that Common Ground has “gelled into one fantastic bluegrass band”. Concerning their new release, “One For The Road”, Charlie says “their lead and harmony vocals are tight and strong”.
