"Like a passer by on a summer drive through the country, I have had the privilege of monitoring the Tillers own growth throughout the years. Coming in with fresh eyes to each gig, I have enjoyed the fruits of the rapid advancement of their musical garden of delights. Don't get me wrong, Mike Oberst and Sean Geil's talent were present from the beginning. But with the addition of Aaron Geil's steady hand on the upright bass and the cultivation brought about by endless (and no doubt thankless) tours and pub dates, these "brothers in melody" were suddenly tapping into progressively deeper and darker village. Put plainly: they just kept getting better and better.
 
Nose to the ground, hand on the plow, hard work and harmonies. Take it from an old fan, if you are reading this now, you are the lucky one. For this is fertile ground indeed." - Col. J.D. Wilkes
