"This Austin-based western swing/jazz trio--violin, guitar and upright bass --will bring even the tamest audience
to its feet. Plus, instrument aficionados will drool over the 1925 Gibson acoustic, 1937 Gibson amp and
all the other classic gear that helps to keep Cowtown hot and hoppin'."
-Chicago Tribune
"Perhaps the first thing one notices when listening to the Hot Club of Cowtown is its lack of irony, self-consciousness
and forced hipness in embracing a style of music that so easily lends itself to such things...Stylistically, the band
steps out from the shadow of its influences to become more than a faithful retro band that likes to raise its tempo
every now and then. It's writing more of its own songs and varying its delivery... conscious always that above all else,
the music is for dancing and an old-fashioned good time."
-Neil Strauss, New York Times
"If rosin were flammable, violinist Elana [James] would be charged with arson."
