BLUE YORK: "A pure country/bluegrass album with its feet firmly planted on Manhattan island! Here you'll find it all; complex harmonies blended with direct storytelling peppered with lyrics that are unique in their ability to turn a phrase." - -Tom Ollis, November 11, 2008 "Imagine the technical excellence of bluegrass as played by the Del McCoury Band, melodies as if written by Jimmy Webb, story lines Spielberg would be proud of, hook-filled lyrics that set the scene like they came from the pen of Hal David - this'll give you some idea of what to expect from this excellent "no-filler" offering from JtO." - -Jim Ferrie and the Studio Dawgs, February 15, 2009. Engineered by Trevor Reddick, and featuring Jeff Zona on guitar, Gary "Biscuit" Davis on banjo, Tim Caudill on bass, Tony Dingus on Dobro, Kevin Moore on fiddle and mandolin, Amos Oaks on harmonica, Robert Allen on guitar, Jimmy Bryant and Lakieta Bagwell on background vocals. Collaborators include David Cornue, Andy Corbitt, Sam Holtzapple, and Amos Oaks. Also featuring a Larry Norman song to commemorate his death the year this album was released. In his podcast, David Van Biema called "THE DAY THE MARKET FELL" his song of the year.

"Knoxville banjo player and singer John thomas Oaks recalls his years in the big city on Blue York, a solid set of contemporary and classic bluegrass songs based on Oaks' recent stint in the music and theater world in New York. Oaks and his band effortlessly swap back and forth between traditional barnburners ("Goin' Up to Harlem"), country-inspired ballads ("Worth It All," with lovely lead vocals by Emilee Cook), and bluesy stomps ("Roseangela"), never straying too far from their roots in smooth, Blue Highway-like (and audience-friendly) pop bluegrass." [Matthew Everett, METRO PULSE]
