4.0 out of 5 stars Turntable Magic, July 26, 2006

So, all right it's a c-d, but "Turntable Matinee" reminds those of us old enough to remember what it was like to set the needle in the groove and hear something special and not bat an eye at an occasional crackle or pop. This album is fantastic. Most are comparing it to Buddy Holly & the Crickets. There's some truth to that, but I'm hearing some Nick Lowe & Rockpile in there too. This album has a great "live" feel to it. I'm already looking to see what club they'll be coming to in my area.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sure fire solid sender..., January 23, 2007

Having known Robert (Robert Williams, aka Big Sandy) for seemingly decades now, following and supporting them on tours since his days with the Fly Rite TRIO and back in the day when even Will B. and the legendary, untouchable T.K. Smith was playing guitar....it's good to see the boys still doing what they have always done. Sure there have been some personnel changes along the way, but Big Sandy has always been the pinnacle of this music, only rivaled by such cats as Dave and Deke when they were still together (Deke has gone on solo now - Dave too, but to a lesser extent), or possibly the Lucky Stars and the Horton Brothers. Still, Big Sandy and gang keep on keepin' on.

This latest is no exception. If you know this scene, then I really need to explain it or describe much further. But it is amazing, as usual. Get this latest one as soon as you can, and you won't regret it. Sounds of Speedy West, Jimmy Bryant, Bob Wills and such will come flooding from your hi-fi with a "modern" touch. You can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turntable Matinee - Let's have a party, March 13, 2010

For those folks who are not not fully plugged in - listening to "Turntable Matinee" , in its entirety, is like going to a party at your friends house and playing all of your 45s while sampling from a variety of music genres.

"Turntable Matinee" is a rare masterpiece but it will probably not get the recognition it deserves because MORE PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR IT! And commercial radio is useless.

Tell a friend ... check this band out .. buy this CD. They do NOT disappoint !


These are my merely my opinions, make your own decision.
But please get a clue Craig Harris -> "Rusty Williams" - REALLY?
