Slavonic folk music with elements of bluegrass... as in "Yak pri luzhku" by the Russian band Countrybandists has got the passion that not many groups from the USA are able to show." (Country Gazette, NL, 2000)
"Country Bandists... build a musical bridge from Russia to America... I am exhilirated and moved by the way their music embodies Russian strongest tradition of village choral singing." (Acoustic Guitar magazine, 2002)
