• "Holy smoke!  Hassler's latest-no-holds-bared release demonstrates remarkable talent. From her blistering arrangement of "One Way Track To Nowhere" to an affective "Turn The Page," Hassler is at the top of her game." - Bob Mitchell, Radio Bluegrass International 

 

• “This is a top-notch bluegrass band, an Alison Krauss on high-octane gas.  While some of their their songs (Country Strong, Seven Miles to Wichita) come to mind  wouldn't feel out of place on a say, a Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride or even Faith Hill album, this is a kick-tail bluegrass band with incredible instrumentalists on fiddle, banjo, Dobro and mandolin. All led by Hassler's sweet and strong classic country voice." - Mac McDonald, Monterey, CA - The Herald

 

• "I Can Go Back Anytime is a 'homerun' for Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain!   Carrie continues to impress me with her talents!" ~CINDY BAUCOM, KNEE-DEEP IN BLUEGRASS

 

• “From the hard drivin’ bluegrass cuts to the wonder ballads, they all should be monster hits.” – Clyde Scott, Bluegrass Radio.org

 

• “If this ain’t a hit, I quit!” – Terry Herd – Bluegrass Radio Network

 

• “Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain’s new single release ‘I Can Go Back Anytime’ takes us back only a short time ago – when she was brand spankin’ new voice/band and wowing the skeptical bluegrass crowds with her powerful vocals and the meticulously perfect vibes of Hard Rain.  We were bowled over by the top shelf image and sound that they had, when we felt the first few droplets of Hard Rain’s many talents.  WOW – they certainly are thrilling folks again, with a brand new wonderful song!  She can’“GO BACK WITH US ANYTIME’ and she knows it!  Take us where you will, Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain!!!  We’re along for the duration!” – Gracie Muldoon, Worldwidebluegrass.com
