The following was written in the media about the CD ‘Happy Hour’:

de Volkskrant****: “When Dutch musicians are playing deeply rooted American genres you might be a bit skeptical. There's nothing worse than Americana smelling like Brussels sprouts. Fortunately, there are artists like Tim Knol and the Blue Grass Boogiemen, who are experts at playing bluegrass. Anyone who has seen them jointly on stage already knows. They know how to play Americana, and know how to play it extremely well… Their show 'Happy Hour' provides plenty of proof."

AD: "The combination of Knol's delightful drawling voice and the sometimes uplifting, sometimes melancholic, polyphonic American country music not only makes sense, but is utterly brilliant. The songs on 'Happy Hour' are fresh, soulful, uplifting, and authentic. Their live show is a definite must-see.”
