F-258 reviewed Bluegrass Unlimited Vol.1, #1-July 1966. – “TWIST” is a
frighteningly accurate rendering of “EARL’S BREAKDOWN” on the mandolin, and the
best instrumental to come out since Jimmy Martin’s “SWEET DIXIE” several months ago. Reverse is only another attempt to jump on the Viet
Nam bandwagon.
