I had the pleasure of listening to Max at Bob Allen's bithday party, Friday night 4/01/08 in Fayetteville, Texas and was delighted. Great sound, great voice and obviously a great songwriter. Especially enjoyed Skyview Cabaret.

Great comeback CD for Max after "One Of The Ways". Not that his last studio album was all bad; it did, after all, give us "The Pila Song". But other than "Ain't Fallin' In Love", not much else to listen to on that one. Those are the only 2 songs from that album that made it onto my personal Max Stalling bootleg CD that I carry in my truck. Can't carry ALL my CD's with me, you know.
"Topaz City" is a much better listen; the newest edition of my personal Max Stalling bootleg CD has 5 of his new songs, and could have had more if I could get more than 20 songs on a CD. "If Only The Good Die Young" is a great song, exactly what you'd expect from Max in the leadoff position. "Ping Pong, Pool" is a song I really don't want to like, but I can't help it. I guess I like the fact that Max seems to know how to make white gravy without using Pioneer mix. The more I listen to "Skyview Cabaret", the more I like it, even though it confuses me. I initially thought it was about a senile old man, now I'm not so sure. Guess I've got a short attention span. "Don't Fall Alone" is a great toe tapper, I'll be singing along with it as soon as I memorize the words. Which brings us to the creme de la creme, "Goodnight Never Meant Goodbye". It's replaced "The Pila Song" [which replaced "These Reminders" (which replaced "The Rock Song")] as my favorite Max Stalling song; I've played it over and over, I think it will be my first release if I ever learn how to sing and get a recording contract.
If there's one thing I'm disappointed in with this album, it's that I was hoping for a studio version of "6x9 Speakers". No such luck.
For the record, a couple of the songs on my bootleg CD came off compilation albums and aren't on any of his own CD's. Max's versions of "El Paso" and "The Rodeo Song" are good listens; I can't remember what music service I downloaded them from, but they were both well worth the buck.

I like how he accomplishes a clean and crisp sound; he doesnt have to smoke and drink his voice into a nasty rasp in order to sound genuine. Great voice and amazing songwriter.
