Of the 20 tracks on this CD, 8 were written by Rick. I mention this because it underscores the song writing talents of Ricky Nelson, so overlooked in his wonderful and extensive musical career. I am absolutely thrilled with this CD. The musicianship of each group's performance is excellent and the renditions of each song brings a freshness to the spirit of Rick's legacy. The engineering is great and arrangements are special. Many kudos to Planting Seeds Records and those associated with this entire project for making this concept a reality. To say that some of the proceeds of each CD goes to cancer is heartwarming! The CD is a must for all Rick Nelson fans around the globe, both new and those who remember the love Ricky brought to all of us through his music, and career.

This is a wonderful CD. Each listening deepens my appreciation for the inspired and endearing arrangements of these great classics by so many excellent musicians who've honored Rick's songs and those he made famous with their talent and perspective. The underlying spirit of joy and respect for Rick's memory and musical legacy is contagious and moving. Delightful listening, impossible without the pull of heart strings reminding me of how important, and very special, Rick's music continues to be. Thank you Planting Seeds Records and all the people involved in making this high quality CD.

This is a wondeful collection of performers saluting one of music's most underrated talents. It's consistently impressive material - and not just the hits. This CD is a chance to discover some of Nelson's lesser known work - and some lesser known artists who deserve your attention.

Terrible Terrible Terrible!! All who participated is this ugly CD.
This is not worth the cost of a blank CD... You all should be ashamed! If you love Rick Nelson and his songs, you'll will understand
this hack job!
