"Andy Bunn’s roots run all the way back to the Southeast, and Hickory is a good reminder that top-shelf country-bluegrass can come from anywhere. Backed by a skilled band that includes Seattle instrumental wizard Eli West (who also produced the album), Bunn delivers songs based on old family stories through a perfectly fine-grit vocal rasp. The result recalls Steve Earle’s dabbles in bluegrass—a high compliment." Ben Salmon, Bandcamp

"Andy Bunn has previously been known for his work with the High Mountain String Band. His fantastic new solo album, Hickory, blends some straight-ahead bluegrass with more relaxed country and old-time styles to create a gorgeous, rootsy backdrop for his character-driven songs." -- Cascadia Daily News
