Review from Bob Everhart, Pres. National Traditional Country Music Association, for Country Music News International: "It continually fascinates me to hear cowboy and western music coming out of the old west, but to hear it coming out of even older 'West' Virginia is a marvel. Carol Markstrom makes her mark here with her own compositions, taking the listener deep down to the Rio Grande Valley, both sides, Mexico and the USA. That in itself is a remarkable accomplishment. She also has a perfect old west sound in her voice, not some phony la-la land very bad impersonation. She's very confident with her own material, and to hear her also add some lovely 'standard' old time western songs to the total mix is also not only brave, but also very comforting and easy to listen to."
“Crossing Borders is the second work of the wonderful Carol Markstrom, if the first "Vision Across the Range" pleasantly surprised us, this certainly will not disappoint you.” (Miguel Angel Diaz Gonzalez, Rockin’ Therapy Radio in Spain)
"Carol Markstrom has done it right with Crossing Borders! She has some nice original songs and a fresh take on cover songs. With her clear wonderful voice and great instrumentals, you’ll be entertained!” (Totsie Slover, 2014 WMA Radio DJ/Radio Program of the Year)
