In Chet's own words: "...D.R. here is a great guitar player... have you all heard him? D.R. thanx, it was good to see you again...let up, you're too good already!" 

Acoustic Guitar Magazine: "...Fans of hot fingerpicking take note: this album is not to be missed! ... switches effortlessly from Mach-speed Travis picking to single-line chicken pickin' shows that he can tear it up with the best of them."

Guitar Player Magazine: "...Sculpting a cool contour through Chet-style country pluck, Celtic balladry and ragtime, D.R. Auten crafts enviable acoustic tones imitating trains, cats and frog sounds. The fingerstyle pieces display terrific contrapuntal independence, stunning chops and a strong sense of melody."
