2004
“Something of a ‘sequel’ to the 2002 Down From the Mountain Tour, this latest incarnation retained the flavor of the original but added enough new acts to make the show engaging for concertgoers who keep coming back for more.” “…a refreshing mixture of roots-music royalty and relative newcomers.”
Bobby Reed, Chicago Sun Times
“…the show was a magnificent slice of early Americana—and the most joyful lesson imaginable.”
Edward Morris, CMT.com
“The Great High Mountain Tour comes close to putting more talent onstage than an acoustic music fan can handle.”
Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel
“…during the Chicago stop of the Great High Mountain tour, the capacity crowd experienced the vocal power of American traditional music sung from the depths of the soul.”
“[T Bone] Burnett has launched The Great High Mountain Tour, in which a sprawling caravan of roots artists crosses the land making what once was old new again.”
Dave Tianen, Milwaukee News
And now, the concert goers weigh in…
“This show, without question, was the best collection of musicians of any genre that I've experienced. The vocal harmonies and fine playing by all the performers was exceptional. I strongly encourage all to see this show. Drive for miles if you must, you will not be disappointed! In a word to the performers -BRAVO!”
Creede Hargraves, Chicago
“…a wonderful night of music - it was sweet balm to the spirit
of this mountain girl...”
“The entire show exhibited some of the purest music I've ever experienced. My
wife and I are considering a weekend in Branson so we can take in the show again, it was that good!!”
Larry Ray, Columbus
“Absolutely wonderful show!! I could have sat there for 12 hours. It was very entertaining and some great performances. If you don't have a ticket for your city, I would highly recommend seeing the show.”
Garry Judy, Cincinnati
“That was as much fun as I've ever had at a concert. It was great from start to finish. I went to see AK+US, but ended up being a fan of every artist... You can tell the artists are having fun and enjoy each other, and it added to the positive vibe of a wonderful evening.”
Skutir, Minneapolis
“Well, in a word, "WOW"!! One of the best shows I've seen lately! What GREAT music was made in St. Louie tonight!! It was truly a night of entertainment and fun!!”
John, St. Louis
“Absolutely wonderful. It could have gone another 3 hours. It is great to see young musicians that carry on the old time music, especially with the talent they exhibit. …will there be a DVD concert video of this tour?”
Joe, Milwaukee
