“The Dust Busters bring back the true spirit of Old Time Music, where
every singer invented his own performance. Besides being excellent
musicians on fiddle, banjo and guitar, pump organ, harmonica, etc.,
they sing with the high voices that echo the sounds of young artists
heard on the old 78s, evoking the spirit of the “Golden Era” of
recording, and the mystery of their own identity.
They have built their repertoire from some of the best music of the
past and they keep it alive and lively. They have found resonance with
the intensity of rural music, while delighting in the nuances that
preserve the individual uniqueness of the genre. This is music that
will keep your mind dancing.
The Dust Busters are reaching for new musical highs, and they play the kind of music I want to hear.”
- John Cohen, New Lost City Ramblers.
“A really excellent stringband! They make this old music alive and present.”
- Bob Fass, WBAI 99.5fm New York.
“Here’s three of my favorite people to play and sing with ever, kicking
musical ass all over the landscape. If you like your trad/roots benter
and hotter than normal, you’ll love this!”
- Peter Stampfel, Holy Modal Rounders and Fugs.
"The Dust Busters have clearly been hanging out with some of my favorite dead guys. And this is the thing: you either fall in love with the dead guys or you don't -- but you can't fake that sort of communion. The Dust Busters are there -- you can hear it in their repertoire, and in the heart with which they play. It's a rare gift, and I'm so glad they're sharing it!"
- Rayna Gellert, Uncle Earl.
