I have been a fan of Raul's ever since I saw him sing "Make the world go away" on the Nashville celebrates the Ryman tv special several years ago. I just love to hear him sing, and this cd is
beautiful. I have been playing it since I bought it and the rendition of Blue Bayou is very haunting. Great job and the instrumentals are first rate. Highly recommended.

Maybe not as powerful as it could have been, but perhaps that's because I've heard everything the man's recorded and heard him live several times. This is a laid back, comfortable collection with at least three crackerjack songs on it. My favorites are The Great Atomic Power, You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go and Bright Side Of The Road but there's enough different styles for anybody to enjoy something. Well worth purchasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great album!, March 18, 2006

As I'm writing this, I'm hearin' for... I don't know how many times to this great album. With all the due respect, I just don't understand what does Rich Kienzle mean by "disappointingly predictable". I mean, come on, what's so predictable about it or, even worst, disappointingly? It's a great album! Great musicians, great selection of songs and on the top of it all there's Raul Malo's voice, the best one since Elvis and Roy Orbison. That's the plain truth. Sorry Rich, but that's the way I see. If I'm disapointed is that the album has mere 12 songs. I could hear 12 more, easily. Once a heard a fan saying that he would pay just to hear Doc Watson talk. It wouldn't matter if he wouldn't sing or play anything. I understood right away what he meant, because I would to. The same thing applies to artists like Raul Malo. He doesn't have to do much to please his audience and, in my point of view, he does a lot on this record. I didn't like his previous work "Today", the songs aren't good and so, but still there's a great voice behind them. Well, I think I've said enough. Fans, of course will love it. Newcomers would want more. That's how I see.
Favorites tunes? Louvin Brothers' "Great Atomic Power", Roy's "Blue Bayou", and Hank Williams's "Weary Blues". Although the instrumental is great, I'd love to hear Malo singing Jimmie Roger's "Waiting For A Train". Maybe next time. The weakest try is Gram Parsons' "Hot Burrito", once Malo himself has done it better. Keep on singin' Raul and God bless you.
