Truly Willyesc songwriter, Matt Martindale is one of the best songwriters period, and the band is unreal good. Must see them live in a small Honkey Tonk.

I don't know WHO I like best in Texas Music??? You have to be an idiot to say, so and so is the best. One thing I do believe Cooder Graw comes as close to capturing the soul of Texas Music as anybody. Love Texas Music!!!

This is the best damn CD, I've heard in a LONG time. Mostly all new songs, with a studio version of Willies Guitar and a remake of one of their first songs - County Colors. The new songs written by Matt Martidale are like an evolution, they have come so far since their first CD...Before this CD, I always liked them live better than in a studio . This CD has taken a great live band and brought out a great studio sound. Guest appearances by Cindy Cashdollar, Brendon Anthony and Pat Green just add nicely to the CD, but it's the lyrics and Martindale's abililty to "turn a phrase" that sticks in your mind. This band has its finger on the pulse of the West Texas High Plains. "Sheriff out to edge of the county... throw you right out, shiftin gears" You can just see the tumbleweeds blow across the Illano Estacto.

Far and away, Cooder Graw's best CD. Hayden Nicholas gets an A+, and so does the band!
