4.0 out of 5 stars You'll be singin along for days..., July 25, 2000

By	A. Gerber - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album emerges from a San Francisco scene that has found itself enamored of Parsons, Hillman, Harris et al. And while there's plenty of good stuff there (SF is "out west" after all) this fellow harkens back to an earlier country sound, shame this thing aint on a 78'... I saw this group ONE time and found myself singing a couple of the tunes for months... "Dont know if Ill see the Sun Again" in particular. The kind of thing where the melody is so strong you can fit yer own words in and its still pretty. The record is wonderful- smart, sad and funny. Thoughtfully played. Takes you on a trip through the dust, the bushes, the sunshine and the darkness and your beer is still where you left it when you get back.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Real Country Sound" and sophisticated lyrics.., May 8, 2000

By	"mrpleasent77" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

Hank Williams has somethin' to say, and he's chosen the mind and lungs of Mr. Tom Armstrong to spread his message. At least that was my initial impression when I first heard these wonderfully original honky tonk tunes. Fleshed out by a red hot line up of pure pedal steel, down home fiddle and swingin' guitar; any educated listener will agree that there was some kinda spooky time travelin' going down in the studio when these gentlemen turned towards the microphone. All twelve of the songs is a homerun, either through virtue of the witty lyrical content, beautiful instrumental parts, or the booming baritone vocals of Tom Armstrong. Gotta give it five stars then, and I've heard it over the local airwaves and jukeboxes enough to know that I'm not the only one. This one belongs on your shelf next to Ray Price's "Night Life" or the Louvin's "Tragic Songs". Got those? Then get this!
