"The Liberal Rednecks changed not only my thinking but my way of thinking about people. Before them, I didn't realize I had made judgments. It's funny as hell, thoughtful and moving for reasons you would never think you'd be moved by. And go see them on stage, you will be shocked and driven to hear them, but I caution you, wear diapers...you're gonna need em." -Whoopi Goldberg

"Take it from this Hillbilly, these rednecks know what they're talking about. It's the most fun you'll have without beer & fireworks!" -Morgan Spurlock

It's become so convenient to label places 'blue states' and 'red states'. Those terms ignore millions of folks who live in these places. People like Trae, Drew and Corey. Don't get me wrong, these boys are country as hell, but they step to the table with fresh voices and challenge stereotypes at every turn." -George Wallace
