"Comprised of songs Douglas and the Gibsons considered well suited to their road work, Darkest Hours shines in large part due to the fact that the material is more than simply well-played, but, just as importantly, also a collection of superb songs. So while they stay true to a bluegrass mantra - opening track "What a Difference a Day Makes," "So Long Mama" and "Dust" make that clear - they don't diminish their ability to simply craft standout compositions in the process".

"Vocally and instrumentally, The Gibson Brothers demonstrate a light touch, as when Alison Krauss provides harmony vocals on the chorus of "I Feel the Same Way as You." While the album includes impressive guests, there's no doubt that this is Eric and Leigh's album. Their individual vocals, their intricate harmonies, and their guitar licks demonstrate why this duo has earned a place on the bigger bluegrass stage".

"'Darkest Hour' offers further proof that Leigh and Eric Gibson - deemed Entertainers of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association in 2012 and 2013 - are among the finest and most versatile bluegrass artists working today. From the back holler lilt of 'What a Difference a Day Makes' and soulful potency of 'I Go Driving' to the heart-wrenching country twang of 'Your Eyes Say His Name' and rocking poignancy of 'This Good Day', each of the dozen tracks on Darkest Hour exude that rare and unmistakable quality that signals that this is the real deal. The album was produced in two sessions, each a year apart, by perennial Grammy-winning dobro maestro Jerry Douglas ... The result is a slistically diverse showcase for the Gibson Brothers' next-level expertise".
