"AcuTab is a company that publishes music transcription books for those who want to learn how their heroes do what they do. The underlying concept for this disc is to showcase these virtuosi. The results are exquisite. From duos to full ensembles, instrumentals to vocals, the creativity of the combinations and the sparks that result make this a must-have for the hard-core fan as well as a terrific entry point for the curious and newly smitten."
	David Royko, Chicago Tribune Online
	"This recording falls in line with several others where young, energetic, multi-talented bluegrass musicians are offered the opportunity to perform as a team. Most of the other releases have very little music that is appreciated by the lovers of bluegrass. This edition of Knee Deep In Bluegrass is quite different. IT IS ALL TRUE BLUEGRASS MUSIC. Folks, when I say this is the good stuff, I mean it is on a level with the Bluegrass Album Band's Rounder recordings. I can think of no higher praise. I will be quite shocked and disappointed if Knee Deep In Bluegrass does not receive a lot of attention when award times arrive. This one deserves everyone's attention."
	Frank Overstreet, SPBGMA Bluegrass Music News
	"Knee Deep In Bluegrass - The AcuTab Sessions is an exciting musical happening presenting a plethora of flawlessly executed bluegrass that will delight just about any discriminating listener."
	Les McIntyre, Bluegrass Unlimited
	"Knee Deep In The Bluegrass does a lot more than give fans the chance to hear their AcuTab heroes playing together for the first time, it's a chance for some of the top musicians in bluegrass to play with other great players they'd never have the chance to record with otherwise. Kudos to John Lawless and AcuTab for the great concept and the skill and dedication needed to pull it off. This will no doubt be nominated for Best Recording Event at IBMA this year. Hear it now before it becomes famous."
	Dave McCarty, Flatpicking Guitar Magazine
	"The real delight comes from several classic favorites. The musicianship positively sizzles on Turkey in the Straw, with Sammy Shelor on banjo and Ron Stewart on fiddle. Stafford -- who produced the album -- and Kenny Smith play a warm, fluid guitar duet on Angeline the Baker. Mandolinists Butch Baldassari, Wayne Benson and Alan Bibey add a delicate flavor to Golden Slippers."

	"The idea of bringing together a number of stars on one album is not a new one. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Here it does, and the result is a fine album. Get it."
	Robert Clinton, British Bluegrass News
	"Knee Deep In Bluegrass is a powerhouse compilation containing some of the most hard-driving, imaginative and musically fascinating material ever waxed. I especially enjoyed the unique combinations of musicians -- everything from Pete Wernick playing solo, to duets to the full ensemble. I thought every track was a gem."
	Dave Higgs, Bluegrass Breakdown, WPLN-FM, Nashville
	"Great tunes, stars too numerous to mention, impeccable production; what more do you want? Knee Deep In Bluegrass: The Acutab Sessions (Rebel) is a tour de force that shouldn't be missed."
	Jon Weisberger, milesofmusic.com
	"AcuTab founder and CEO John Lawless could get tabbed for the IBMA Event Of The Year for this one, with everyone from (BB) Butch Baldassari to TT (Tony Trischka) picking on ten instrumentals and Ronnie Bowman, Dan Tyminski, Alan O'Bryant, Tim Stafford and Mark Newton singing on the four vocals."
