5.0 out of 5 stars Stephanie covers a wide range of emotions, March 2, 2006

Have been a big fan of Cowboy and true Western Music for a long time, but never made the effort to pick up one Stephanie's CDs. Then I got to see her in person at the Spirit of the West Cowboy Gathering in Ellensburg, WA (a great event in its own right). Changed my whole perspective on things. Bought this CD there and it has been in my changer ever since. In fact, I just ordered two more of her CDs based on the strength of this one. The sentiment of Some Things Cost Too Much, Ikey and Crocus in the Snow is overpowering. You've Been a Friend to Me (with Ray Benson from Asleep at the the Wheel) and Yodel Blues (with Ranger Doug) are great songs and fun. I encourage you to buy this CD. Stephanie, its good to know you.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a killer song!, May 6, 2004

I bought this album because of one song - "Ikey". Every once in a while you hear a song that tears the heart right out of you, Ïkey is just that king of song. I choke up every single time I hear it, and when I try to sing along, it just gets worse. Listen to it in a quiet room and follow the words very carefully, and, if there's any depth to you at all, you'll have the same reaction.

By the way, the title track tugs at your heart strings, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great record!, February 28, 2004

For your information: Yes, I know Stephanie personally, she is one of the nicest persons I've ever met, a great musician and a gifted songwriter.

I think this record is the best she's done (and the others were top class, too!). Stephanie was assisted by great musicians like Steel Guitarists Lloyd Maines and Steve Palousek, Fiddler Bobby Flores and Piano legend Floyd Domino. Asleep At The Wheel's Ray Benson joins her for one duet. The record only contains self-written material.

What I like about the record? The variety of material that ranges from Western Swing ("Something 'Bout Montana") to traditional Western Style, Acoustic Music and even a bit of Rockabilly. But mostly it's the songwriting, her way to tell a story that sometimes makes you cry and sometimes makes you smile, but always makes you LISTEN.

This is definitely not a record to be played in the background, you have to take your time, sit back and listen to what Stephanie has to say.

If you can rely to the above, this CD is a must.
