DESTINATION UNKNOWN
by
Rudy Grant
Here you go,Rudy Grant Fans! Finally!! A CD from one of Denver, Colorado`s ICONS of country music. I think that Rudy`s been around here almost as long as Lee Sims or Leo Everett. I really haven`t kept track of the years, (I stopped counting a long time ago)
Now this album is "Western" to me. It has a predominant steel guitar played by Clip Cookson, who also co-produced this CD. By the way, the other producer is a well-known country music artist, Karen Osburn. She got her licks in-playing bass guitar, drums and back-up vocals. Susie Lewis (another nationally known artist) laid down some outstanding fiddle parts on this album.
I remember back in the `60`s, when I used to go with my Dad on the road to repair electronic organs. We were
in Valetine, Nebraska when the van decided to quit on us and we had to stay in the downtown hotel while we waited for the parts to be delivered to the repair shop. I can picture that country hotel in my mind like it was yesterday. The wooden bench and chairs, one black and white television, and NO vending machines in the lobby. I bet you have a place like that in your mind. WELL, this album will take you back to that very place again and again. It is cassic country and western through and through. In this day of hype and distortion, it`s very rare for something that`s designed to be country and not designed to be commercial. This album is just THAT: ITs COUNTRY, its the GOOD STUFF!!
There`s a waltz (that`s played like a waltz)and He sings a cha-cha. The dancers will delight in this one. The back-up vocalc are right-on the money, and Rudy`s singing is great.
Listen to the different timbres that he achieves on different songs. It`s one of the things that Rudy has always done so well. I remember back when Claude King sat down and demonstrated to a young picker how a good country singer changes from soft to loud, thin to thick, and nasal to throaty, all within one line of a song!! Rudy is great at doing this, and it`s one of the lost arts of singing, especially in the country field.
If you`re into the Sons of the Pioneers and bands that had that great western flavor, this album will please you as well.
I almost forgot to mention, Rudy co-wrote: "The Two Step Is Calling" with LINDA A. HERMES who lives down in Texas. I Don`t know how many of the songs that were written specifically for this album-They are all great.
Great job Rudy and all those involved in this project.KEEP`EM COMING!!

    author: HE SING HEART`S SWEET COUNTRY MUSIC !!!

    This CD Keeps It Country And We Like It That Way

  • It is tasteful, but rather bland. Only buy this cd if you like old sounds, and
    author: Don Checking

    The CD has several tasteful songs. The musicianship is very well. The vocals could be tightened up some. Overall, it is a nice CD. However, it lacks new sounds. It is a good CD for people 40+ in age.

  • Colorado's Greatest "unacclaimed yet" Country Western performers!
    author: Ambassador Ent.

    I particularly liked "Another Reason Not To Drink", "The 2 Step is Calling", and It's A Matter of Time" Great renditions-Rudy is smooth and enduring. May he continue to bring us GREAT music for a long time!

  • Fantastic
    author: Carol Harrod

    My husband & I took a trip from Denver to Tennessee and about wore out Rudy's CD Destination Unknown. True country music at it's best. Loved it!!!

  • This true country music is a pleasure to listen to.
    author: Jacqueline Goad

    This pure county music is so hard to find these days. All of the songs are a joy to listen and dance to. The Two Step Is Calling is my favorite. Everyone can relate to it.

  • This CD is just like Rudys performance, excellent.
    author: nightbolts mobile disco

    We are from England,UK and have seen Rudy perform live. Listening to this CD it sounds as if he is in the room performing live infront of you. The songs he has chosen for this CD really capture his ability to become one of the top country singers of all times. From BJ the DJ,@:Nightboltsdisco@aol.com.

  • Enjoyed the CD.
    author: Fillmore

    Two Step is good listening and dancing/ Especially #6.

  • Great' Really #6.
    author: Beth W.

    Liked the whole CD. #6, #3, and #2. Hang in.

  • Take me back to the roots of country
    author: Annessa Fast

    This is a wonderful compilation of the traditional style of the country music we all love, performed by our very own Rudy Grant with the style grace and grass roots feel he has become so well known for.

  • Excellent. True country. No rock-a-billy. Texas two-step.
    author: Diana Hart

    This CD is an example of Country/Western music at it's best. Each song brings a good toe-tapping emotional response which is lacking in so much of the rock-a-billy genre we hear today. My two personal favorites are The Two-Step is calling which is exceptional and done in the true tradition of Texas two-step honky-tonk music, and Saints and Sinners. I don't know if the artist is from Texas, but without a doubt, we'd be proud to claim him as one of our own.

  • Great CD..... Good songs
    author: James Williams

    This has some of the best western songs on one CD I have seen. This is one of the best bargains out there!

  • Great CD!!! This one is a must to get you in the mood for dancing..
