"Fans of classic West Coast country-rock will thoroughly enjoy the music of Chaparral"

— Alan Cackett, 'Maverick Magazine' July/August 2012 Issue

"This is a fine eleven track disc"

— Simon Austin, Country Music People June 2012

“Chaparral rockin’ the country”

— Cheryl Senn Sanger Herald, Sanger Herald

“Country Group Chaparral Sings at the KSEE Studio Chaparral has been around for two years. In that time they have put together two albums. Now, they are going unplugged at Club Rome with local duo Whisky Row and Washington group Ace's Up. The band came in to do an acoustic version of their song "Down to the River."”

— KSEE Studio

“Top 25 California Songs of 2011!”

— Californiality

“Setting the bar even higher for 2012, Chaparral will certainly enjoy popularity with "Will You Go With Me," one of the best country (or western) songs about California, period.”

— Californiality

"California Line," Chaparral (Chaparral) While some have derided new country music as being too rooted in pop, if it's balanced properly it can have more appeal and reach a larger audience. Visalia's Chaparral is able to pull it off with the catchy "Tomorrow's Another Day" and adding the twangy/humorous "Tequila In a Can." There's also a rock element on tracks such as "He Ain't the One" and the stellar "Shoulda Left Me." The alternating singing of Martina Otterbeck and Joseph Costa help make the balancing act work even if it's not always in the same song because distinguishes each track from another. It's no wonder Chaparral is developing a following having played at February's World Ag Expo in Tulare with Blake Shelton. Be sure to see Chaparral 9:30 p.m. Friday at The Cellar Door. Tickets are $5.

— Pete Menting, Visalia Times Delta

"California Line" by Chaparral makes the list as one of the best songs about California ever.
