Many people know Buddy Emmons' work as the premier pedal steel guitarist in the world but, until this album, few knew what a good singer he is! Here he treats us to one of the most fun, upbeat collections of western swing tunes you could ever want to hear. Each one is a thorough pleasure that will have you grinnin' from ear to ear within the first 8 bars. With such heavy-hitters as Johnny Gimbel on fiddle, how could he go wrong? The music is absolutely top quality and just reeks with "fun"; it sounds like he's smiling through every tune from start to finish! His numerous CDs of swing standards with Ray Pennington are all very impressive but, I must say, do not have the easy, carefree, swingin' FUN feeling of this album. My extensive collection of Bob Wills albums not withstanding, this one is my favorite western swing album of all. （J. Cohen）
