I had this on a cassette tape many years ago and it was my favorite of all my tapes until my player ate it. Since then I have been hoping that they might reissue it on a compact disc but eventually gave up hope. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the reissue on Amazon and immediately ordered a copy. I can hardly wait until it arrives. If you like bluegrass or classic country this disc is a must have.

This is good stuff. Any Earl is great in my opinion. My only complaint is it sounds a bit dated. It has that early 80's overproduced country sound that I sometimes have a hard time enjoying, but overall it is still a fine release.
