Reviews

Pati Crooker, promoter of the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival:: "It's wonderful! I have played it and listened to it every day since it arrived! Beautiful... Makes me wanna sing!"
Adrian Zupp, in the Spotlight, Portsmouth Herald Newspaper, Portsmouth, NH:: "Bluegrass fans are going to like Back Where I Come From, the debut release by Cecil Abels and the Bogus Family. The Seacoast band has served up a tasty mix of tunes and tempos, and every track is cooked to perfection; each number pulls on a different heart string... packed with a sweet array of moods and melodies, and plenty of fine storytelling and fabulous picking in the classic bluegrass tradition."
Chris Bernard, in the Showcase, Foster's Daily Democrat, Dover, NH:: "The musicianship is excellent — combined, the Bogus Family has well over 100 years of experience — and the tunes are lively and well produced. The vocal harmonies are pure bluegrass and the rhythm keeps going. Rich Stillman's banjo is a standout, pace-setting performance. Back Where I Came From is a great listen. These guys know rhythm — they know bluegrass."
