"There are a lot of bands in Chicago, a lot of very good bands. Among the very best is Dyed In The Wool, a gathering of grand musical talents and sweet sensibilities that can handle traditional tunes in ways that make them fresh and vibrant and create original tunes that will stay with you forever. It’s a fabulous Album."

"As the regular reader knows, Dyed in the Wool is our favorite Chicago Band. Period. The group has its second album out. Called, Stranded. It’s wonderful, and that has nothing to do with the fact these wonderful musicians are from Chi. We remember Johnny Devens of the group telling us they had a great new singer. She is Meghan McKown. What a wonderful Alto! Of course, the rest of the band is wonderful, as usual. We cannot recommend this group and this album highly enough. They keep getting better and better, and why they are not bigger on the national and international scene bewilders us. Great stuff. Find it." (Rating: Four Harps)
