I got "lucky" the other night on this recommended album. Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys are amazing. I have loved western swing music for a long time, but there have ben few artists who I think have really been able to pull it off well. Next to Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys he's as good as it gets and better yet, he's still alive and swingin' I hope to catch him live soon

This is newly recorded western Swing, but it is bound to be a classic record. The arrangements swing hard, including steel guitar, Sandy's vocals are smooth with a touch of hillbilly boogie. The band falls between western swing, country boogie and rockabilly. An appealing and always swing danceable sound. Esellent music for fans of both swing and rockabilly.

This is the third album of Big Sandy with his Fly Rite Boys. Nice retro western swing, songs are mostly originals. An exception is "Have You Ever Had the Feelin'" which is written by Webb Pierce and the king of western swing Bob Wills. A special guest on this record was Adrian Demain, who recorded with Lee Rocker, Swing Cats, Billy Bacon & Forbidden Pigs and Supersuckers!

I loved these guys for a long time and have been lucky enough to see them live many times. This CD captures all the live spirit and fun that guys hae playing western swing. If you're feeling kinda interested, buy it and you'll be real glad you did.

The greatest rock-a-billy, western swing or whatever you want to label him performer out there! This album showcases his incredible smooth vocals. Big Sandy and His Fly Rite Boys rock! a must buy Cd. "Have and Hold" is my favorite, but really they are all great.

Big Sandy and the Fly Rite Boys are amazing! Their mix of country, rockabilly and swing is second to none. Feelin' Kinda Lucky is their best album to top it off. I can listen to this album over and over again and still find it hard to find a song that stands out as one I don't love listening to. A friend turned me on to Sandy and I feel in love with his music right off.

This is one of the best Big Sandy albums ever put out. What more can one say? If you like Western Swing and you want to take a long drive listening to great music. Or if you feel like doing a little dancing around the house, this is the album to get.

I think Big Sandy did his best with this record "Feelin Kinda Lucky" it is perfect music to my ears and makes a person just feel happy !

Briefly stated, Big Sandy and the boys are unmatched; these guys are the real deal. You will find yourself humming the tunes long after you stop listening. Catch them live if you get a chance; the HOSE OF BLUES is a great place to see them.
