American Cowboy Magazine, August-September 2011. Mountain Saddle Band, Saddlebag Bible. Busted Cinch Records. This is one of the best Western/Gospel recordings ever released. "Lilly of the Valley," "Rounded Up In Glory," and "The Old Rugged Cross" are downright moving. "Strawberry Roan and Little Joe," on the other hand, is a nice nod to the campfire storytelling tradition. Michael Lohr.

Mountain Saddle Band with Chris Isaacs. One of the things that I enjoy as I perform across the country is finding talented entertainers who have perhaps been "flying under the radar". What a treat to find one such group right here in my back yard. The Mountain Saddle Band has been adding their unique sound to real "Cowboy" music for a while now and are finally starting to receive the recognition that they deserve! I'm proud to share the stage with these guys any time! Chris Isaacs, Cowboy Poet

Mountain Saddle Band with Juni Fisher. I have worked with the Mountain Saddle Band several times, and from the first time working with them, I was impressed by the enthusiasm, professionalism and
dedicated work these fine guys have put into their music. Their arrangements are dandy, and harmonies abound, with a refreshing, genuine sound. And best of all, these fellas are just great guys, all around. They work so well together, with the wonderful chemistry that makes everything about them likable, and most enjoyable. I'm proud to consider them friends! ... Juni Fisher

Mountain Saddle Band with Waddie Mitchell, Dakota Livesay, Dave Stamey, and Chris Isaacs. I find it a bit embarrassing to have to admit that someone my age and experience is a groupie.  But when it comes to the Mountain Saddle Band, that’s exactly what I am…Any time they’re performing in my area, I try to be there. Here are three men who truly enjoy performing together.  And their harmony is magical.  Whether talking to them or listening to them sing, a person gets the feeling God has brought them together to bring enjoyment to people’s lives and to continue the great traditions of our Western heritage. Be warned, when you hear them, you may also become a Mountain Saddle Band groupie... Dakota Livesay, Chronicle of the Old West.

Mountain Saddle Band is AWESOME!!! The Chamber has had the privilege of working with the Mountain Saddle Band at our festival and they were fantastic. Their Old West Chapel performance on Sunday morning inspired and brought everyone closer to their beliefs. Steve, Steve and Rusty perform the old cowboy ballads with reverence for those
bygone days of yesteryear while introducing new ballads created from their own poetry. The “cowboy way” of life is alive not only on working ranches but in the hearts of all because the Cowboy is truly American and the Mountain Saddle Band are “the beautiful balladeers” that are keeping the spirit of the Old West alive for all to enjoy... Beverly Stepp, Executive Director, Pinetop, Lakeside Chamber of Commerce.
