"Although not a whole lot was done to reinvent the songs covered on this live record, it's still a pleasure to hear them dusted off and presented anew; maybe even making some new fans of the original artists behind them along the way".

"North Carolina Songbook cherishes the spirit and legacy of the past, wrapping such classic pieces with a keen eye for progressive arrangements and uproarious energy, but it remains tried and true to what's always worked: good songwriting and skillful playing".

"It goes without saying that the Steep Canyon Rangers are in the forefront of those artists who have helped in the transition from bluegrass to grassicana, sharing their reverence for their roots while establishing their own contemporary credence. There's no more ideal example of that dedication to cause than this live eight song set recorded this past April at MerleFest during their main stage performance. The festival's theme revolved around the yearlong celebration of North Carolina music, and as proud native sons of that state, they covered songs that aptly reflect the lingering legacy of their home state ... Of course, the anticipation for a new Steep Canyon Rangers album with all original offerings is still highly anticipated, and one can only hope that a long wait won't be required. In the interim however, this abbreviated effort fills the gap both credibly and convincingly. Quite frankly, there's no better band equiped to connect past with present while blurring whatever divide remains in-between".
