"The truth is that this album is worth more than just the music. This time it goes deeper. Way deeper...This is an album you should be listening to. This is folk in the tradition of very early Sandy Denny and Maddy Prior and in the tradition of the downtrodden everywhere. These are protest songs, mostly traditional, which tell stories from which we should be learning for if we don't, there will be hell to pay. Thus far, we aren't. Let us hope we wake up before the Monsantos and trade partnerships bury us all. The album is titled "Declaration" for a reason". 
- Frank Gutch Jr, (No Depression, USA)
