"This is a great CD, which I'd describe as a folk/bluegrass fusion. My favorite tracks are "Way Down the Old Plank Road," "Lady Margaret," "City Never Sleeps," "Infinite Medley," and "Haircut Money." I saw The Mammals play in a Lexington, MA, concert -- they are fine musicians, brimming with energy and wit. And it doesn't hurt that some of the group belong to a family of folk demi-gods."

An Energetic Cd from an Energetic band

"When you listen to their first CD, you can hear the difference from Evolver. Both are amazing though! I am friends with this band and they are as full of energy off stage as on! This CD has great upbeat fiddle tunes as well as slow songs. The medly is long (about 10 minutes) But worth it! The members are amazing within themselves, Ruth Ungar (daughter of Jay Ungar) Mike Merenda (Ruths boyfriend ;)) and Tao R. Seeger (Pete Seegers grandson). Listen to the fisrt track Plank Road and you will fall in love! I sure did!!"

CRAZY but COOL

"I caught these guys in Marshfield, WI and bought this album from them in person. I felt so sorry for them! They had all of twenty people sit and watch at our GHOST-TOWN mall! But as soon as I walked in that day, I heard them and I thought, "What kind of music is that?!" (because the nearly empty mall here usually plays pretty easy-listening-old-and-mouldy). I didn't even know they were going to perform that day, but I REALLY REALLY enjoyed their show and bought this album from them. Been loving it ever since! And my supervisor caught me listening to it at work one day and has stolen it to listen since!"
