From the Nashville formula days of "Drinkin' Thing" and the haunting 'williamson County" through the cover of Ramblin Man all the way to the bluesy "Little Junior" Stewart has provided listeners with a cornucopia of great hits. Any thing this man does is great. Albeit that he is not a traditional c/w singer, Gary has always managed to come back and knock your socks off and with this new release, he has done just that. Pop this CD in, grab a cold one, and prepare yourself for the essential "Whiskey Trip". Gary rides again!!!!

IT'S GREAT TO HEAR SOME VINTAGE GARY.CHECK THIS CD OUT.THE KING OF HONKY TONK HAS TWO WINNERS HERE AT A GREAT PRICE.NOW IF ONLY THEY WOULD RELEASE "YOUR PLACE OR MINE" AND "LITTLE JUNIOR" ON A TWO FOR ONE COLLECTION.GARY IS IN FINE VOICE AND GREAT TRACKS.BUY THIS DISC.

I have all of Gary's LPs and most of the CDs and I think 1979's
"Gary" LP is the best. With this double LP CD you also get 1980's "Cactus and A Rose" and I guarantee this in your car's CD player will rock you down the freeway. Gary decided to end his life a year or so ago after the death of his wife - a real tragedy for this sometimes troubled soul. But a great singer he was with his unique vocal style with super musicians and his great producer, Roy Dea, supporting him. This import CD is becoming hard to find and may not be around much longer.
