WOW!!! This one is pure magic. Justin has clearly done his homework in studying Johnny Bush. The duets are tight and wonderful and Dicky Overby and Rick Price do things with a pedal steel that will make you swoon. The material is classic with a wonderful twist. If you're a Johnny Bush fan, a Mel Tillis fan or just a fan of traditional country music this cd will become a favorite in your collection. I keep one in the car, one in the office and one at home. Enjoy...this one's a keeper.

At age 13 blind kid Justin Trevino was wearing out his dad's country music collection and calling DJ's with requests beyond the Top 50. Now after 2 albums from his home studio/label, Justin has signed to Lonestar records right behind his front man Johnny Bush.

Granted there is original material, Justin is mostly known for his cover's. Most known on this set should be All Right I'll Sign the Paper's(Mel Tillis) and Leaving and Saying Goodbye(Faron Young)

Justin also plays bass with the Cornell Hurd band.

Put on your boots pour a cold beverage and enjoy

I cringe anytime CMT or GAC is on the TV; and I've stopped listening to standard Country Music radio years ago. And, when you realize that folks like Justin TRevino are not showcased on either of those two mediums, you'll know where I'm coming from. This man has talent; absolute solid gold voice. His tribute to Mel Tillis' "Brand New Mister Me" is superb, and rivals even Mel's! Love his take on "Who'll Buy The Wine"....a song that's been covered by Joe Carson and Charlie Walker. Hey, Justin even pays tribute to one of the lesser known Faron Young tunes, "Leavin' and Sayin' Goodbye". Now, with all of those covers out of the way, theres 9 other numbers (including some originals he penned), and a superb duet with Johnny Bush (of the Cherokee Cowboys fame). I will admit to being newly introduced to Justin's music, but I've already placed a second order for a few more of his CD's. I'll gladly spend money on artists who can put out music like this. If you have nothing more than even a passing interest in true Country Music, you owe it to yourself to listen to Mr Trevino.

THIS IS THE BEST TEXAS DANCE HALL MUSIC SINCE JUSTINS FIRST EFFORT. THE DANCE BEAT IS STILL THERE, THE TWIN FIDDLES ARE SMOOTH, AND THE TWO STEEL PLAYERS ARE OUTSTANDING. THE RECORDING AND MIX ARE AS GOOD AS YOU COULD DESIRE AND CO-PRODUCER JOHNNY BUSHES INFLUENCE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. JUSTINS OH-SO SMOOTH AND EFFORTLESS PHRASING ARE EVIDENT THROUGHOUT BUT ESPECIALLY ON CUT # 2. I'M NOT USUALLY IMPRESSED BY COVERS OF FARON OR MARTYS SONGS BECAUSE, IN MY MIND, THEY OWN THEM AND COVERS PALE BY COMPARSON. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS HERE; A FEW GUYS DO OK ON COVERING FARONS "LEAVING AND SAYING GOODBYE" BUT NOT AS WELL AS JUSTIN. FEW ARTISTS EVEN ATTEMPT TO COVER MARTYS SONGS, AND WE KNOW WHY. YET, JUSTINS RENDITION OF " WALTZ OF THE WIND" IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB. IF YOU LIKE WESTERN SWING, HONKY-TONK MUSIC, OR LEGEND JOHNNY BUSHES STYLE, YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS GREAT CD BY A LIVING LEGEND AND A LEGEND TO BE.

THIS MUSIC IS VERY GOOD. I AM A COUNTRY MUSIC DJ IN ST. LUCIA AND THIS MUSIC IS THE BEST I HAVE FOR THIS YEAR. THIS ARTIST SHOULD KEEP IT UP. PRAISES TO ALL COUNTRY LOVERS THEY SHOULD TRY THIS ONE.

Connoisseurs of Texas country music have known about Justin Trevino for a long time. He's been playing the dance halls and beer joints since he was 12 years old, and recording albums almost as long. Justin's previous self-produced records -- "Texas Honky-Tonk" and "Loud Music and Strong Wine" -- are collectors items, cherished by fellow musicians and disc jockeys around the world. With "Traveling Singing Man," Justin's music is now widely distributed to the rest of the world. If you love REAL country music, sung from the bottom of the heart and featuring the best pickers in Texas, this album is a MUST-have for your collection. Justin's vocals, always extraordinary, are backed by pickers with no equals anywhere. Only Justin could have picked such a perfect slate of songs, which range from the rare and obscure (the title cut, an old Justin Tubb gem) to the famous ("One More Drink and Then I'll Go"). And only Justin could deliver this set of songs with so much passion AND precision. Nobody in Nashville comes close to Justin's vocal talent or his committment to the rich tradition of country music. Looking for the next George Jones or Lefty Frizzell? He's right here, on this record. While you are ordering this one, be sure to get Justin's last record ("Loud Music"), which Amazon is also selling now. You will thank me right before you order extra copies for your friends who think country music has died. And get your tail down to Texas to catch Justin with Johnny Bush or Cornell Hurd as soon as you can. This guy is a musician's musician, a dancer's dream, and a country music lover's savior. Don't believe me? Ask Johnny Bush, Don Walser, Kitty Wells, Leona Williams, or any country music disc jockey who still cares about the music. BUY THIS RECORD NOW!
