  • Thankyou for returning to old time country music! I love this cd.
    author: Judy SLauhgter

    This CD is it's name true to life, but my favorite thing about the cd is that it brings back the steel guitar and old country twang that has been missing from the "new" country for decades. Dear Hank, Little Cheatin' Woman are great song but my personal favorite is "Well of Loneliness". Using the old song titles was a stroke of genius, and it works great for the story in the song. Love Ya!
