I have been listening to Dave's music for quite some time and had a chance to meet him in Austin back in July after a show at The Whte Horse Saloon. Great show of course and an even better dude. I just featured Dave and his music on my Honky Tonk Heroes Show here in Boulder, Colo on ... KGNU.org- Community Radio. Go see him...

what a great show... Dave controls the stage with confidence and has great songs... check him out.. hes pretty good.

I've been a Dave Insley fan for over 20 years now. After many attempts at collaboration with other artists he finally struck out on his own. And I am ever happy he did. The sound is cleaner than ever, the songs better, and his band's performances just seem to get tighter and tighter as time goes by. This is, no doubt, due to Dave's exacting standards on stage and in the recording studio. If you're a fan of anything closely resembling country, roots music, or Americana, give Dave Insley and The Careless Smokers a listen. You'll be glad you did.

I'd give Dave more than 5 stars! It's not just his voice but the rocken rhythems and story telling that makes me a big fan!

I first heard of Dave on a news show. He was playin' with a band called the Trophy Husbands. As a real trophy husband (my wife may argue this point) I immediate liked the music and have been a fan ever since.

You have got to hear "Roy Boy." One of the catchiest, coolest songs I've ever heard.

You don't know what you are missing if you haven't purchased this CD. The music is awesome! You will want it on your iPod, your computer and in you car. Dave even does one of Conway Twitty's song. Dave is true master at doing Conway's songs. Greatest CD that he has put out yet. Keep up the good work!! Hopefully you will be in AZ when I come there in November. Would love to see you again.

We love Dave in Northern California, just don't see enough of him out here. Dave and his Careless Smokers are one of the best dance bands around.Great tunes, nifty lyrics. We love listening to the CDs too. West Texas Wine is a beautifully crafted compilation showing off Dave's talent in lots of styles. We miss you, hope you can return soon!

Dave's a guy I'm proud to call a friend. He's a tremendous talent and a great guy, and all three of his discs are never far from my regular rotation list. I tell you, we miss him here in Arizona something fierce - Austin's gain was definitely our loss! Do yourselves a favor and take a listen to Dave's music. It's honest, it's real, and he knows what Country & Western (with a kick) is supposed to sound like.

Great guy. Great songs. Always a good time to go see him play. An all around solid and fun entertainer, with songs that stick with you that you want to hear again and again. If you can find it, check out his old Trophy Husbands material too: "Dark and Bloody Ground" and "Walk With Evil".
