    Very well done. Keep up the good work!

  • A real pleasure
    author: john maruskin

    There are a lot of good performances on this album, not least those by the Texas Jewboys. I'm not a big country fan, got this mostly because I'd read Friedman's novels, but I thought most of the songs were quite good and it was a pleasure to hear so many country greats singing them.

  • Great time CD...lot's of smiles
