“[Gasoline refers] to the kinetic connection they felt when playing music together, especially at ‘burning’ tempos! The music in this collection of previously unissued traditional bluegrass performances was recorded at two different sessions…The second session was an informal jam recorded late in the 1970s in David’s living room with Steve Arkin on banjo and Todd Phillips on bass.  Nearly every tune was recorded in one take and the feeling of spontaneity and energy is palpable!”—Acoustic Disc

“It is rare—and very exciting—to find an old-time band today that has put it all together: great selection of material, fine singing and top flight, dynamic instrumental work…fine banjo picking from none other than Brooklyn-born Steve Arkin, whose strong work here includes both old-time and Bluegrass style (mostly the former). Those old enough to have seen Bill Monroe’s band in the 1960s may remember seeing Arkin as a Bluegrass Boy in 1964. Monroe was quoted as calling Arkin the best banjo player [he] ever had for backup. Beautifully sequenced, this is a great album that we can endorse without reservation.”—County Sales
