“Idyllic bluegrass festival – idyllic bluegrass. Some would say that bluegrass is at its best when played live, and this multi-artist recording, made at Grave’s Mountain Festival of Music, proves this true. On the All-Star Jam, Rural Rhythm’s favorite artists holler and pick their way through 12 songs.  Wistful vocal harmonies, top-notch musicianship and some long-awaited bluegrass pairings flow throughout the album. You’ll get a real feeling for the festival as well, as all of the introductions to the songs are intact and there’s a scrapbook of photos in the liner notes. Even the sad songs sound happy when played outside on a sunny day.” ~ John Shelton Ivany Top 21 Albums
 
“If you can’t personally attend this bluegrass festival in a place known for its tradition, history, fried chicken, fruit pies and friends, then you should pick up this album to fill your own heart with some Graves Mountain Memories.” ~ California Bluegrass Association
 
“This is a very good CD that showcases some great names in bluegrass and demonstrates one of the fun parts of the genre: how artists can mix-and-match with each other with little or no advance preparation and still put on a great performance.” ~ Lonesome Road Review
