Editorial Reviews

Stephen Bruton's fifth album, produced by Ross Hogarth, whose credits include Melissa Etheridge, Ziggy Marley, Gov't Mule, R.E.M. and John Mellencamp. Bruton has produced albums for Alejandro Escovedo, Marcia Ball, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Hal Ketchum, Storyville and Chris Smither. He's played guitar for Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson, and his songs have been covered by Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Patty Loveless. This album features bass player Yoggie Musgrove and drummer Steve Ferrone (who plays with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers). On keyboards are Little Feat's Bill Payne and Austin player and composer Stephen Barber. Bruton and his buddy Randy Jacobs handle guitar duties. Old Fort Worth pal Glen Clark spices the mix with his harmonica while, Lon Price, leads the horn section on a number of tracks. Bruton's penchant for collaboration finds him co-writing nine of the album's songs with friends like former NRBQ guitarist Big Al Anderson and Memphis rocker John Kilzer. New West. 2005.

This is a great CD from Stephen, we will miss his great writing, singing and acting. He was a star in every field.

This is one of several CDs I have from Steve. His song writing is very good and two songs on this disc were co-written with John Kilzer. I know John (also a great song writer) and was introduced to Steve in Memphis a few years ago. Steve plays some great guitar on this disc and shows his ability to sing different types of songs. I would recommend his music to anyone that enjoys good words with greater meanings than most current songs available today.

I feel guilty for not giving the late Stephen Bruton a higher rating, but I feel this is a competent, not great CD. I enjoy his understated playing and singing, but this CD just didn't get over the hump to that level of greatness that I think he was capable of achieving. Still, it's a pretty good CD, particularly if you're one of his fans.
