1861 wins the Indie Acoustic Project's 2008 CD of the Year Award! See more information on our news page.
"In Moreland & Arbuckle, Aaron Moreland, along with singer/harpist Dustin Arbuckle, whips his strings and melts the windings with his slide on '1861' (NorthernBlues). The pride of Kansas plays Hill Country stomps like his life depends on it."
- Guitar Edge Magazine, "10 Blues Legends in the Making!"
"Totally fresh and thought engaging! If these boys can slug it out, they'll one day be house hold names."
- The Blues Hound, 90.1 FM KPFT Houston
Guitarist Aaron Moreland and vocalist/harmonicat Dustin Arbuckle stick to the basics here, and they do it so well, with such confidence and power, that one has to consider this record a blessing to the soul of modern music."
- Michael Fortes, Eat Sleep Drink Music
“Moreland & Arbuckle put the edge back in blues-rock with their big league debut album, 1861.”.
- Rev. Keith A. Gordon, Blurt Magazine
"In a world of musical perfection, Moreland and Arbuckle’s raw distorted tones are more than refreshing. Unshaven and at times coarse, Aaron Moreland’s dense and primitive guitar grooves combined with Dustin Arbuckle’s raspy vocals and edgy harmonica fire up their earthy, rural blues."
- Metronome Magazine, Boston
"In the end, 1861 reveals a band in full command of the musical and emotional content of its art, not too polished, not too rough, always deeply invested emotionally and musically in every moment of their journey. Flesh, blood and bone they may be, but theirs is transcendent work."
