…The music on their latest CD release, Florona, includes American shape-note singing, village music from Bulgaria and Sweden, and art music from 16th-century England and Spain. The 21 tracks hint at the amazing depth of the Social Band's repertoire and the care that director Amity Baker has put into arranging and developing their sound. The Band may sound like a big church choir at first, but a closer listen reveals layers of sonic texture. Their respect and affection for the music shines through all the way. Florona has many hidden rewards for the attentive listener; supporting local music is rarely so pleasurable…
from Robert Resnik’s review in the May 12, 2004 edition of Seven Days
