I have a syndicated radio show called "Are You Ready for the Country?". When I first received the new T. Graham Brown record for airplay I was a bit skeptical. I liked the song "Darlene" as a kid but I just wasn't sure if his "T-ness" would be making hip music in the year 2003.

I put the cd in my car while driving and was blown away for the next 45 minutes. This record is amazing. The sound on this record is what country music should be about today. Why country radio has ignored this record is insane.

T's remake of "Middle Age Crazy" stood out to me from the first time I heard the song. "My Old Friend the Blues" is extremely powerful.. you can hear the sincerety in T's voice on this one.. he truly feels it. (another thing gone bad on country radio, they have no emotion).

It's upbeat songs are country mixed with some rock and funk.. there's some blues numbers.. some ballads.. it's a perfect record. If you're a fan of "good music", pick this one up. You'll thank me later.

I love the CD, but it sounds terrible if I play it in my car. It sounds fine if I play it on the computer though. I was pretty disappointed, but the price was good.

Country singer T. Graham Brown had considerable Top 40 success in the late '80s with hits like "Hell And High Water" and "Don't Go To Strangers." These days, though, Brown is one of the many once-big stars who've found a cold shoulder greeting them in today's lean, mean Nashville. Without a major label contract, Brown shows that he's still able to make an album pretty much as good as anything he did back in the '80s; this slick, oldies-tinged tunes aren't quite my kinda hillbilly music, but this disc does have one standout track, a duet with George Jones, called "Bag Of Bones." These two old-timers sure sound good singing together!
