For a better sampling of Texas music listen to 92.1. This CD is second rate at best. I can think of at least 8 better songs for each artist than the ones put on this CD. Granted, a couple of the tunes deserve merit. But for the Texas music lover, this CD kills you.
The perfect x-mas gift for Texans! A must buy this season.
Awesome, This album has it all. It isn't a "greatest hits" of Texas Artist type of album. It is a well blended collection of music from the best in the business to keep you rollin' down the road. Yall will love it.
With Jack and Robert Earl on the cd you cant go wrong!
This collection is a must for those of you that care anything at all about the history of Texas music. All you have to do is put this cd in to realize just how important the Big D Jamboree was not only to Texas music but to the gals of Texas music. The musical content as well as the lyrical content on many of these cuts were cutting edge for their time. One listen to Helen Hall's "Honkey Tonk Husband" and you will understand. Charline Arthur's cover of Helen Hall's "Hello Baby" will have you hooked. Buy it and Listen!
What a tribute CD is supposed be about. 15 great artists paying their respects to this state's greatest singer / songwriter. Of course Towne's never wrote the "happiest" songs in the world. But the artists did it true to Townes, no sugar coated bullshit here. God Bless Townes Van Zandt.
GREAT ALBUM!!! Recommend 110%, this CD shows a great love for Texas music and Texas artists. Keep 'um coming Compadre!!!!
Just got the cd. Terrific mix of Texas artists, great sampler and great cd for a road trip. The unreleased songs are ALL great! I highly suggest it.
