"It was a special treat to hear and see your band⦠I loved your show. You guys are smooth and your vocals are wonderful, and straight from the heart." Â
"Hand-Picked presented a stellar performance that rivaled some of the greats of bluegrass we have seen in the past... We especially enjoyed the original composition, âShe Said I Do.â
"I might have featured this beautiful old Bill Monroe number several years ago, but Iâm all turned on about it again after hearing a new beautiful version by Hand-Picked Bluegrass on their âDo What You Gotta Doâ CD. It features solid three-part vocalsâ¦.â
âSweet Virginiaâ is a fine offering of contemporary bluegrass highlighted by vibrant vocals and creative instrumentation. Hopefully, there will be many future projects from Hand-Picked Bluegrass."
"What I tell customers at my book and music store is that Alison Krauss would have no cause for shame if she released this CD, and Iâll stand by that. By this I donât mean to say that Sue Cronick sounds at all like Alisonâshe doesnât. But sheâs a warm-spirited lead vocalist who imbues as much country as bluegrass into her performances, and the band members complement her ever so nicely. Thereâs plenty of fine musicianship on Do What You Gotta Do... These are fine contemporary players entirely at home with one another⦠making them a band to watch for at bluegrass festivals."
