“In contrast to Miller’s usual earthiness, this Americana super-session is sonically lighter than air–thanks to spectral six-string ambience from Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, and pedal-steel ace Greg Leisz, who adorn heavenly voices including Emmylou Harris and Patti Griffin.” – Spin
“The Majestic Silver Strings is one of those rare “supergroup” projects that works–as much by its understatement as its savvy choice of material and excellent performances.” – AllMusic
