Guitar Edge Magazine names
guitarist Aaron Moreland as one of
"10 Blues Legends in the Making!"
"In Moreland & Arbuckle, Aaron Moreland, along with singer/harpist Dustin Arbuckle, whips his strings and melts the windings with his slide on '1861' (NorthernBlues). The pride of Kansas plays Hill Country stomps like his life depends on it."
~ What others are saying ~
"1861 is a Jayhawk romp through acoustic Pre-War Blues, Hill Country stomp, and countrified blues rock that indelibly produces one of the finest newest releases of 2008." Ben Cox, Blues Blast
"This sounds like a blues band with a 1960's garage band energy, a dynamic combination that is hard to beat." Brett Flemming, WEVl Memphis
"In a world of musical perfection, Moreland and Arbuckle’s raw distorted tones are more than refreshing. Unshaven and at times coarse, Aaron Moreland’s dense and primitive guitar grooves combined with Dustin Arbuckle’s raspy vocals and edgy harmonica fire up their earthy, rural blues." Art Tipaldi, Contributing Editor, Blues Revue and Blues Wax
"From the heartland of America, these young men bring to the table a powerful devil's potion of Delta, hill-country, and postwar electrified blues, all rolled into one." Don Crow, Music City Blues
"It's hard to believe, but the best merger of Mississippi Hill Country blues, Delta blues, and rural blues in years may come from a duo from Kansas. 1861 is an electrifying set that will earn a spot on your stereo's regular rotation for a long time with their fresh interpretation of old classics and new songs that fit seamlessly with the old. These guys mean business!" Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes
"Totally fresh and thought engaging! If these boys can slug it out, they'll one day be house hold names." The Blues Hound, 90.1 FM KPFT Houston
