Comments from Dave Higgs WPLN-FM, Nashville, TN; 
"Appalachian Trail has put together another winning combination-covering some powerful tunes along with some killer Tommy Austin songs. I am so glad the band is re-formed and is obviously alive and well. I was especially enamored with Long Way to Virginia, Pale Rider, A Christmas Tear (destined to become a Christmas classic) Driving Blind and the a cappella stunner Delivered From the Hands of Pharoe." (Dave Higgs) 

"Time for Movin'" is available for purchase at our live shows.
