  • The Possum Crawls Tonight
    author: PattyKay

    Heard this on Thanksgiving on a road trip to Ohio. Our daughter-in-law had went down on her bike the night before when a possum ran across the road in fron of her. Thanks the Lord she wasn't hurt badly!! Perfect timing to hear this song!! She'll enjoy it!

  • Good bluegrass-Possum Crawls Tonight will be a classic.

    Good bluegrass tunes. Excellent harmonies. The Possum Crawls Tonight is a great novelty song. They do go on a bit too much with the possum cuisine at the end of the song though.

  • Great fun! Good mix!

    I heard the Possum Song on WSGS radio's Saturday morning Bluegrass program (Hazard, KY) and thought I had to have it. The other songs are great, too!

  • Great CD

    I heard the song, The Possum Crawls tonight on WDVX in Knoxville. This is a great bluegrass song. It should be a classic. I ordered the CD to get the song. The CD is full of very, very good music.

    I was driving to Memphis one day and heard "The Possum Creeps Tonight" on KASU, and knew I had to have this CD. It hasn't dissapointed. In addition to the great humor in the possum song, this is a solid collection of outstanding musicianship deeply rooted in East TN bluegrass and country. Eeee HAW!

  • Great CD. Great blend of music and fun.
    author: Brian Tompkins

    I very much enjoy the CD. I am relatively new to secular bluegrass music, however this CD will most likely be the first of many from Wild Blue Yonder. Keep up the good work. The world needs more and more great fun family entertainment.

  • Great sound! Good blend of voices
