"Casey Neill is at once musician , writer, musicologist and student and he does his homework. Live performance may well be the best introduction to Casey and the trio. There's the palpable tension of an audience on the edge of their seats and the release of the transition from jig to reel. These are songs with stories well told. This is what it's all about." - Steve Earle

"When I first heard Casey Neill ten years ago, I was struck by his ability to write songs on political and environmental themes which drove home a message without becoming overbearing or didactic, and by his commanding stage presence and singing voice. Since then, he has honed those skills marvellously. While he is still writing topical songs, he is no longer a 'political songwriter', but a writer whose range includes the political, the personal, and the combination of the two which is always the most revealing. His live performances, whether solo, with the Casey Neill Trio, or with other combinations of players, always electrify." -Jon Kiparsky
