5.0 out of 5 stars
southern music fan, March 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Chock Full of Country Goodness (Audio CD)
For heaven's sake buy this album and play it every day. Beautifully recorded and mixed this music reflects mixtures of Memphis blues rock, Nashville country and Knoxville hillbilly rock. Russell Smith sings a torch song with the best of them. Russell did a solo gig with a group called Run, C&W in the early nineties that was excellent. Memphis soul music played bluegrass style. If you ever see one (there were two), buy it and remember, buy this album. This is A+ music. How about some radio play program directors? These boys play real music.

Deja vu all over again!, September 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Chock Full of Country Goodness (Audio CD)
If you can't go back, you can come close, at least...it isn't 1977 and Butch McDade is irreplaceable, but Russell Smith sounds better than ever, the songwriting is still clever and why the Aces aren't more popular is a continuing mystery. The Rock puts anything by Tim McGraw or the Dixie Chicks to shame, but perhaps today's country fans, lacking the rich stew in which the Aces were simmered, are just clueless about what's good. De gustibus non est dispuntandem, y'all. More eclectic than Out of the Blue, and more like the Aces of Old, this album is a 10...and that's not a "4 with a 6 pack".

Please Come to Atlanta, March 30, 2000
This review is from: Chock Full of Country Goodness (Audio CD)
The universe is back in order. "Out of the Blue" was pretty good, but Chock Full... is vintage Aces. Russell's voice is magnificent, the quality of the recording itself is flawless and the songs - classic Aces. Buy it immediately, you'll not regret it. It brings back memories of the Aces performing at the Southeast Music Hall, 1979 in Atlanta, middle of June and the air conditioner broken. Combatting the heat by pouring pitchers of beer on our heads and in our mouths, it was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. I sure hope they tour again and come to Atlanta
