Album Notes

"A wonderful mix of old-time ballads, early country, and original songs that sound and feel as old as the early ones. The musicianship is as good as you'll hear anywhere - the lead and harmony vocals are among the best I have ever heard. The yodeling on "No Hard Times" would make Jimmie Rodgers proud. "Last Chance to Dance" reminded me of early rockabilly Sun Records recordings - it's great. Wonderful compilation of music. The guitar accompaniment on the ballads shows great feeling and only enhances the words. I could go on, but this is an exceptional recording of the old, not so old, and new.
