The Demolition String Band's latest album on Varese Sarabande Records, Gracious days, has received much critical acclaim. Audio and video samples of the band's work, including cuts from the album, are on their website. Award-winning bluegrass writer and photographer Stephanie P. Ledgin, author of Homegrown music: discovering bluegrass (a great introduction to the music), calls the album '... a discerning mix of roots-based originals and covers. DSB and guests dish out delicate picking and singing alongside bolder, uptown selections that complement well to deliver an engaging latest recording.'

And Rolling Stone magazine wrote: 'Thank you, Elena Skye and Boo Reiners, for honoring the late Ola Belle Reed, a remarkable banjoist, songwriter, and Appalachian music legend.'
