IndependentClauses.com says "there are some nuggets of goodness on this album... Hillbilly Dust’s blue-grass tinged acoustic-based songs are highlights, as well as Judith Lam’s forlorn “Prairie Skies. All of the songs on this comp would be perfect for radio." You can read it all here.

"The Heart of Alberta" is charting at #6 on Thunder Bay's CILU 102.7 FM Folk/Roots/Blues charts. (May 06)

The artists of Alberta, as they appear on the "On the Verge" and "The Heart of Alberta" compilations, are featured in the Artist Spotlight of US-based loudorange.com. This is what they had to say "this month instead of featuring an individual artist, we decided to lay our focus on one the best Indie scenes out there right now, Alberta Canada. Both [compilations] give an incredible sample of some of the most talented bands in Canada today." You can see the whole feature here.
