- Mic Gillette (Tower of Power, The Doobie Brothers, Santana)

"Josh Shilling has the potential to be one of the greats.

There are a lot of young artists around that get noticed but very few with the kind of stuff this kid's got."
- Bill Champlin (Chicago, Sons of Champlin)

"Take Bruce Hornesby, Billy Joel and Michael McDonald and meld them together and you have Josh Shilling, a Martinsville native who can tickle the ivories like Dizzy Gillespie can play the horn."
- Brent Watts, WDBJ7 News

"From what I heard—a half-dozen numbers, including ... a beautiful contemporary country-flavored original of Josh’s—this young man’s going to fit right in with Mountain Heart’s signature sound, while bringing some new dimensions to their music. He can definitely cut the vocals on their existing material ... there’s no apparent limit to the upper end of his range ..."
