“…I was very impressed, unique..was my first impression...different, my second.
I heard a whole medley of genres within the EP from roots, to country, to folk, to jazz, to blues...something for everyone and in this case, you can build yourself a bigger fan base due to the crossover of this work when it comes to radio.

Quotes
“Listening to Trio Del Rio is like jumping into a Texas River and the current of their harmonies takes you and you don’t want to find your way back.” short story writer, 2008
- Sharon Stuart
...guaranteed to be vocally golden, so it's no surprise that Trio Del Rio's This Time Around It is a sterling collection of engagingly percussive, vaguely Dan Hicks-ish songs from the team of Tanner Swain and MariLisa with Price. Their velvety neo-swing makes you long for cooler climbs while scanning the back 40 ("Ever Since I Met'cha," "Blown Away," "What's to Say"), refreshing and relaxing, just when life demands a chill pill. - Margaret Moser - Austin Chronicle Aug.28 2009
“A Magical sound and experience”
- Steve Dodds Third Coast Media
“I really like what these guys are doing” - Slim Richie 2008
