BW's first self-titled album from 1971 was one of my most fond vinyls when I started college in 1977 in Texas. I somehow lost the album in 1980 and have dreamed of getting it back ever since. It seemed like the recordings were somehow lost or tied up by his heirs after his death and I was afraid I'd never get them again until now!!! So excited to have a copy (esp. tracks 13-22). These are some of the sweetest and most moving ballads ever written. Nothing like it. This CD should be at the top of your "oldies I gotta-have" list. I would have gladly paid $100 for it.

Okey, being a vinyl collector, I have the original LSP-4865 self titled release of B.W. Stevenson in excellent condition.

I first heard this album in my friend's car through his 8-track player back in the summer of 1972. I had to ask him on who this artist was for I've never heard him before. He popped out the tape, and really not into country music, found that this was sort of an exception for both of us.

I loved the way he presents his songs in a smooth and soft ballade form-in a storytelling way. All of the songs were very sing-a-long type and the last one "On my Own" was the best of all on that album.

I have three copies of his last album "Lifeline" before his life ended suddenly in 1988.

"My Maria" will live on forever.

thx-

Having grown up in Texas, was a teenager when my brother turned me onto B W Stevenson. Whoever tracked this record got it backwards. Start at track 13 and go forward (the first album) and then start at track 1 for the second album. Play the "Lonesome Song" through head phones and be amazed as the wind blows through your head. The man was a master at expressing songs of love, longing, loss. The first album (13 and on) is my personal favorite but unfortunately he didn't obtain anywhere near the fame he should have recieved until recording "My Maria". Too bad that he didn't live long enough to record more. If you buy, enjoy this amazing artist.
