Praise for the LKQ's debut album:

“A stylish debut from four highly accomplished and in-demand musicians." Folk Roots magazine

"The musicians convey their tremendous affection for the sound and emotions nurtured by klezmer music. This CD succeeds in conveying the unique musical style and elevates the listener emotionally and spiritually. LKQ is a nice addition to any traditional collection of klezmer music, be it at home, at the synagogue, or at any interested library." Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter

"The group has a wonderful acoustic sound, without anything getting in the way of the purity of the music. The arrangements are spot on, and the balance is just right. Whether it be a delicate doina or hora, a bouncing sher, or a blazing freylekhs, LKQ gives a masterful performance, full of exuberance and artistry... I can recommend it highly to both those just starting to build their Klezmer library, as well as those fans looking for a truly authentic sound amongst all the amped-up Klezmer that is being produced these days." Keith Wolzinger, Klezmer Podcast

"A truly great authentic klezmer CD." Stewart Curtis, K-Groove
