4.0 out of 5 stars Looking For Something Different?, May 1, 2000

By 

Anne Yancey (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

If you are tired of the "country" played on the radio then pick this album up. It includes all the things that make country, country, fiddles, steel guitars, etc. I found it a good introduction to artists I wasn't familiar with and have gone on to buy their albums. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Refreshingly rootsy and honest, June 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Uprooted: Best of Roots Country Singer/Songwriters (Audio CD)

Some of these songs are much better than others, but on the whole this compilation is a great sampling of contemporary roots country, happily devoid of "alternative" cheek and/or Nashville-style fluff. A great starter kit for those just turning on to country music.

There's a reason this stuff doesn't sell.
