The Station Inn is a great place to hear live music in Nashville, I have been there often. Wish I had been there when they recorded this CD. Gail Davies and her band does a superb job and the recording quality is excellent. That lady has a set of pipes and she really shows them off on this one. Great songwriter, too, I understand. The CD is almost studio quality, Gail and the band making no mistakes, with tight arrangements and great integration of vocals and inststrumental breaks. You will enjoy this CD, trust me.

This is a must own CD for every lover of great acoustic music. Gail Davies has one of the purest country-folk voices ever. Her arrangements make great listening of standards such as Poison Love, It Ain't Me Babe, Ashes Of Love, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and many others plus her own compositions and original hits such as Blue Heartache, Bucket To The South, et.al. As live albums go this is one of the best. The band and backup vocals are exceptional. The tempo and energy make this really good listening.

This live CD is one of the best things to come out of country music in a long time. It is evident that Davies and her band had a blast recording this CD. They perform eighteen of their favorites in this collection which includes several tunes written by Bob Dylan (It Ain't Me Babe, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, and Tomorrow Is A Long Time). There is also the Louvin Brothers classic "Ae You Teasing Me," which was a big hit for Carl Smith in 1952 and the top ten "Round The Clock Lovin," which was co-written by K.T. Oslin. Other songs worth mentioning are "Right By You," "The Fox Hunting Song/Grandma's Song," "Bucket To The South," and the comical "Wedding Invitation." Buy a copy of this CD, and if you get a chance to see her live, don't miss it!!!
