“McNulty’s originals are, by turns, as whimsical, quirky, soulful and evocative as their titles suggest ... this is a lively, eclectic and inspired collection that hits the mark time and again.”

“A fine album of all-original compositions . . . McNulty, playing his Red Diamond F-5 mandolin, is joined by an all-star lineup of some of the best bluegrass musicians in Canada.”
— Mandolin Cafe / 'New Music'
“Backed by such top-shelf session aces as mandolinist John Reischman, banjo player Nick Hornbuckle, bassist Tammy Fassaert and others, McNulty serves up 13 instrumentals ... An altogether lovely and easy going listen.”
— Stuart Derdeyn/Vancouver Sun
“Many of the tracks pay homage to McNulty’s passion for traditional bluegrass music . . . The mandolin, however, is much more than a bluegrass instrument, which McNulty acknowledges by exploring upscale Latin jazz on ’Spanish Banks,’ lilting Irish folk on the hauntingly beautiful melody ’Tyrone,’ and traditional Eastern European dance on ’Nootka Street Mazurkas.’"
