This album shows that country music is far better than you would think if you only listened to Nashville.

This is an awesome blend of country and southern rock. I would have been just as happy with it if I'd paid full price for it.

If it weren't free, this album would never fly. Not because it's bad (not at all), but because it's all over the map - southern rock, country, ballad, one track that sounds like Bruce Springsteen, and another that really reminds me of Stevie Nicks.

If you think that all music done by someone with a twang must be country, you're going to be majorly disappointed. If your tastes are more varied, you'll likely find some artist here who's worth looking for (and paying for).

Like I said, it's a sampler.

I really enjoyed all the songs, especially the southern rock ones. Enjoyable mix, especially for free!

Ok seriously. I don't know who picked these songs, but being from Ft Worth, the heart of the Texas Country scene, this is not an accurate mix of what Texas Country is all about. I am highly disappointed.

I was very pleased to see the Cody Gill Band make this compilation. I would recommend that anyone that likes their song to check out their other two albums. I also enjoyed the other bands that made the album, and have seen most of them many times in concerts.

Loved it: this sampler has sent me scurrying after no less than three artists, and it's staying high enough on my playlist that there will probably be more. And for the price, you sure can't beat it. Recommended, particularly if you've had your fill of the pop dreck that passes for music in Nashville.

Great CD. Has become one of my favorites. I really enjoyed the fact that it was free and gave me a chance to listen to bands I might not have heard before. Geive this one a try. Most of the songs are great.

This set confirms what I've always said about Texas: that state's musicians make up for its politicians.

I LOVE music. Almost ALL music to be honest. I have had some really good luck with free downloads from Amazon(albums, samplers & individual songs). Which has kept me comimg back to look for new music I want to purcahse. Especially because I almost ALWAYS find something new (and free!) to download while I am here browsing & shopping.

Unfortunately, this one was NOT one of those strokes of luck. The music is... lacking, uninspiring and dull. The songs all sound very much the same as the one before. There is no 'catch' in any of the songs that makes you wanna sing, dance, tap your foot, or even HUM too.

I've deleted all of the songs in this sampler from my computer. It was not worth the time to download, or the space it took. Sorry I don't have a better review.

ONE SMALL NOTE...(I don't think I posted a review for the Christmas Sampler I downloaded this year. I praised it on FaceBook. If anyone is interested in the info for that FREE album download I'd be happy to provide it. It was fantastic, and I couldn't believe it was free. Thanks Amazon for that one!!)
