--Dirty Linen

"... a steel and Dobro player who makes every note and nuance count."

--Vintage Guitar Magazine

"Cashdollar is a gifted player, capable of tearing it up, but much more interested in the melody and textures, though anyone wanting proof that she can roller skate in a buffalo herd need only check out Speeding West."

--Cosmik Debris

"Known for her lush, vibrant tone and impeccable intonation, Cindy Cashdollar is one of the planets finest lap slide guitarists. Equally at home picking a vintage Dobro, an old National resonator guitar, or laying down fat horn voicings on a tripleneck 8-string steel, Cashdollar is a master of bluegrass, gutbucket blues, honky tonk, swampy R&B, and Western swing."

--Frets

"It's bluegrass and blues, swampy and twangy, crystal clear acoustic and grungy distortion, along with a healthy dollop of jazzy swing. It just has a great vibe. Cindy's special because of her personality, her technique, and her taste. She moves effortlessly between styles."

--Austin Chronicle

"Cindy Cashdollar has crafted a sonic masterpiece of a debut. Largely instrumental, the 12-tune set features brilliant execution from the star and guest players, a creative mixing of roots genres and evocative mood pieces at every juncture."
