Chris Nickson, Folk Roots Magazine, June, 2000
... [The Waybacks'] Devolver album is as fine an example of hot picking as you're likely to find... It's a remarkably assured debut...

Charlie Backfish, host of Sunday Street, on WUSB-FM, Stony Brook, NY
A terrific record, guys. One of the best I've heard in recent months.

Devolver

Devolver,Waybacks,Fiddling Cricket Music,Rock/Pop,Some call it Newgrass ... others call it Americana ... still others call it Smokin' Grass ... but Acoustic Mayhem is perhaps the term that best sums up the vibe of this guitar / mandolin / fiddle / bass & brushy drums quintet.

It's rewarding to find a band on the brink of emergence as a force. That's force not farce. Devolver encompasses several genres and is not limited to bluegrass. The Waybacks are accomplished in interpreting jazz (Bird's "Scrapple From the Apple"), Celtic (Fischer's "Witch"), among other styles. This band, to put it simply, is fun to be around. Don't miss the bonus track (#13) at the end of this CD.

The first time I heard this CD, I didn't think it was anything really special. The second time I thought it was pretty cool. And by the third time it was my second favorite CD of all time (second only to Cake's Fashion Nugget). Incredible music, especially their instrumentals. A variety of types within the bluegrass/folk genere. Don't forget to listen to the last track (the untitled one) -- you're laugh your arse off.

OK, so I haven't heard this CD yet - so what, I'm buying it now. I caught these guys opening for the hilarious Roy Zimmerman at McCabe's in Santa Monica CA and they blew my socks off. Mouth agape, eyes fixated on the amazing stringwork of Mr.s Nash and Jaques with great backup, bass & drum. These guys are tight as hell, know exactly what their doing on stage, and put on a great show. Wonderful mandolin work and tight synchrony by some fantastic bluegrass jazz hippies.

GREAT CD! These guys really have talent...how they play the ole fiddle and guitars the way they do is beyond me. I heard of them when I went to California...they are absolutely great! Listening to it always puts me in a great mood.

CLUCK OLD HEN...CLUCK ALL DAY!

I am very impressed with this album and have not stopped listening to it since I got it. Beautiful musicianship and a lovely choice of material, well executed, make this an album to enhance any acoustic music lovers collection. But the main reason I love it is that the band sound like they're having FUN ! , an ingredient often missing these days! Living in the UK means that I have never seen the Waybacks live, so hopefully they will be making a trip across the 'pond' soon. I can't wait!
