155:, November 2016: "Newby’s book delivers solid contributions to the historiography of bluegrass music, offering a fresh investigation of urban bluegrass in a working-class city. The book effectively expands the biographies of both long-revered artists (Dickens, Gerrard, McCoury, Seeger) and those less recognized (Hensley, Hooper, Taylor). The in-depth profile of Taylor’s career and contextualization of his group’s historic Carnegie Hall concert in 1959 are long overdue. In addition, the chapter on Reed incorporates illuminating discussions of Sunset Park and New River Ranch, two rural parks just outside Baltimore that were critical venues in the early days of bluegrass."
137:, October 7, 2015: "When you think of the Baltimore music scene, the folksy, Americana melodies of bluegrass might be the last thing that comes to mind. However, Baltimore really did act as a crucial and influential epicenter for this growing music scene. The book, Bluegrass in Baltimore: The Hard Drivin' Sound and its Legacy, by Tim Newby, analyzes and brings to light this rich and hidden history."
161:, January 2017: "Author Tim Newby meticulously sculpts the history of the string-band scene in a major industrial city. Newby portrays the essence of Baltimore bluegrass as a melting pot of urban and rural influences. Readers also watch bluegrass’ uphill battle with prejudice against its hillbilly roots."
143:, October 21, 2015: "Easy-to-read journalism, this book takes a broader view of Maryland's string-band scene, both urban and rural, both past and present...Bluegrass in Baltimore: The Hard Drivin' Sound and its Legacy tell those stories in far more detail than they've ever been told in print before."

Newby was featured on the
Maryland Morning Radio Show on WYPR in an interview with Tom Hall that examined the unique legacy of Baltimore's rich bluegrass history. Newby was also featured on the Bluegrass Byway podcast out of Nashville in an in-depth interview about the book.
169:, Fall 2016: "One hopes that there will be future editions, because this is an important book. The level of detail that Tim Newby has reconstructed is very impressive, as is the documentary contribution of his interviews with veterans of the Baltimore bluegrass scene.
22:
131:, October 1, 2015: "The work takes an in-depth look at the way bluegrass and Baltimore's histories coincided, as musicians relied on Americana music to bring people together during the tough, post-War times."
