A Minute to Breathe
Great new album by a true Tx talent. Dave has really grown as a songwriter and a storyteller. The live show is a "must see." Do not go another day without hearing this beautiful gift of a record. It's stacked with music for everyone.

Mike never disappoints....his lyrics are so craftfully written and woven into the chords of his songs. Something for everyone here. Especially love the last track "Little Birdie". Moving to Tulsa in January and looking forward to more opportunities to see his live shows.

50 Billion
Is Mike M. drinking again??? (hahaha). Looking around for some new music, I discoverd 50 Billion. Listning to the soundsamples, I'm addicted again. Six stars. Only to order at Lonestar! Not even on his own side, it's weird. No doubt, I've got to order this one, so I'm still waiting for the arrival in the Netherlands and listen to the whole album. I will not be disappointed I think!

Gypsy Alibi
Album Review
Anyone who heard Michael Murphey before he found a middle name or Jerry Jeff Walker in his early heyday will surely notice a familiar tone in this fine CD from Bob Livingston. That’s not to say that Gypsy Alibi is derivative—on the contrary, it’s because Mr. Livingston was an integral part of the sound and spirit of those artist’s best work. I was there and witness to some of those performances, which makes me both credible and bias I suppose. The songs run the gamut from the comforting folk-rock of “Ruby’s Shoes”, to the rollicking boogie chug of “Middle Ages Rockabilly Blues”. “Country Western Swing” adds a refreshing funky twist to the traditional western swing we’re familiar with, while the title track has a more cinematic sound in the same way that some of Randy Newman’s best work does. But none of this genre shifting ever feels forced. Livingston’s warm and easy vocal delivery is largely responsible—like listening to a longtime friend. The songwriting too, is relaxed and accessible, never making a big show of its themes, but letting the listener come around to seeing the point in his own time. It also doesn’t hurt to have someone like Llyod Maines as a co-producer, someone who has also had a long, impressive career and is well versed in many a musical style. Congratulations to Bob Livingston for Gypsy Alibi—a wonderful work from a deserving journeyman artist that should raise his profile.

Album Review
Witty lyrics, wonderfully selected covers, powerful lead vocals, beautiful harmonies, great instrumentation, and specifically a fiddle I'm truly in love with...this will be one quickly addictive album for anyone. Such an excitement that it's finally available! You girls (and guys) ROCK!!!
