"This album marks Bard Edrington V as a musician who can celebrate life in all its ragged glory, as well as the nature which surrounds it. These songs are as much about place, as they are about people, and so it may be high time you spent some time in Terlingua, or someplace similar, as well as with this particular album."

- Stephen Rapid / Lonesome Highway -

"This is a fine collection of original songs, with well crafted lyrics on traditional themes from Bard Edrington V, and featuring his great grandmother’s poems, with excellent musicianship and lent extra atmosphere by the church setting."

- David Jarman / Americana UK -

"Bard Edrington V has, over the past couple of years, proved himself to be quite a superior songwriter, both on his solo outings, and as one half of the Hoth Brothers. Here he excels himself."

- Paul Kerr / Blabber'N'Smoke -

"Recorded in 2 days, with only 3 takes, no overdubs and taped in the sequence they appear here, this is a potent musical diary, a true record of a moment, and a time machine for the listener. It's also another album of rich Edringtonana to slip alongside the other well loved records in the collection."

- Marc Higgins / Fatea Magazine -

"This is a celebration of life in both its highs and lows, memories of things lost, and thankfulness for what is still held, these "Two Days In Terlingua" will make your listening week."

- Mike Davies / Folk Radio UK -

"It starts with a whisper, doesn’t it, a whisper, a faint sound, before it becomes a scene, a movement, a thing. Bard Edrington V’s new album 'Two Days In Terlingua' is the latest album in a number of hugely listenable albums I’ve reviewed that tap into something of the life in the vastness of in the New Mexico, southwest-ish part of the USA. Something is definitely happening on this album, give it a listen, or ten!"

- Mike Wistow / Folking -

"There's lots of slower balladry-ish songs, but Bard Edrington V does it really well. He has a very strong voice, while the country rock is not too honky tonk orientated, but also not too poppy either, so basically picture perfect!"

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"Together with Boris McCutcheon, the Sante Fe, New Mexico based singer songwriter Bard Edrington V formed folk band The HOTH Brothers Band. But for his 2nd solo album ‘Two Days In Terlingua’ he gathered 5 friends to play 12 of his songs live in a 100 years old church in the old mining town of Terlingua, TX. It created a very special moment in an even more special venue and delivered unforgettable songs.“
