What a joy this album is - great singing, great musical backing, great arranging & producing, & add to all this, the songs of Ernest Tubb. C'mon people, just what more could one ask for? I'll be honest with you, although I've been a country music fan for nearly 50 years (& for much of that time, Honky Tonk & Western Swing), & had never heard of John England & the Western Swingers, until I logged on to the CD Baby website, & came across Thanks A Lot. Now I'm a died-in-the-wool fan, & can't wait to here more of their music. Great music boys - don't let anyone tell you different, & keep on swingin'. If you ever get to tour in Australia, I'll be there to see & hear you.

On paper this is a perfect idea.  After all, Ernest Tubb and the Troubadours' Texas honky tonk is a close kin to classic western swing, and there is a wealth of great songs to choose from.  John and the Swingers do a great job bringing these barrom classics to life, just as they do at Robert's on Lower Broadway, Nashville, USA.  Check out the cool rock & roll arrangement of "It's Been So Long Darlin'".
