Great album. This is where hits come from.
The songs contain excellent lyrics with a pleasing, slightly country style. It's early Robison, perhaps not as refined as some later music, but very good just the same. As with his other albums, this one has me listening again and again. .


Bruce Robison is the master of the singer/songwriters!
I'm glad--because I've searched for it for a coupla years. This CD blew me away. I have become a Bruce Robison fan, and I wanted this CD; after a three-state search (don't ask), I finally ordered it off Amazon. com . . . .

On this CD, Robison takes you through a lyrical and styllistic wonderland. The upbeat and traditional opener, "Take It All Out On You," kicks things off, but "Torn and Tangled" brings it back down to a mellow tone--the theme of a one-night stand gone a little too far. "House of Man" is along the same themes, more or less (it's a reoccuring element on this album).

You've heard "Angry All the Time," whether Robison's version or Tim McGraw's (Robison's version here is the best I've heard; the same goes for "Travellin Soldier"). "Not Forgotten You" is about those that leave us, and the memories they leave behind. . . "It's Gonna Be Easy," the one song on here Robison didn't pen, has a somewhat bluesy feel to it, and his voice will wrap you up and carry you away. "Red Letter Day" features some great sax work, and "Lonely Too" hollows you out at the core--a guy realizing his ex probably didn't love him at all. But it is the last track, "Match Made in Heaven," that carries away the prize--a ballad of one night stands, and a man just searching for some hope in this world.

Bruce Robison can twist a song into a beautiful masterpiece; this album just conveys what a wonder he is. His voice was designed to sing his songs; and he writes about life, about love, and about the every day things we take for granted. What is Bruce Robison about? He's about country, that's what. Buy this CD, and experience the thrill that Bruce Robison, music's best singer/songwriter, can bring you.


where it all began!
Full of feeling and beautiful pictures. This is where it all began - a great songwriter's first CD displaying some early songs that have since become big hits - McGraw w/Angry all the Time - the Chicks w/Travellin' Soldier. I find myself listening over and over again. His voice gets to you and Kelly Willis' occasional harmonies are lovely. His stories + images truly touch your heart. And I'm just a regular guy - none too sensitive. . . none too tough. His brother Charlie also tells a heck of a story and is a great showman. Bruce's insides shines through. Great things here and more great things to come. . . i. e. (the song 'valentine' on Country Sunshine could be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. ) And i've seen him live and he can kick it up.


Great Example of Austin Music
His ability to write songs that connect with the listener is perhaps is best talent. Owning all three of Bruce's major releases, I can honestly say that his first album is by far his best. This album is a perfect example of a great Austin songwriter at his best.


This CD is just the beginning!
From the first time I heard the songs "Angry all the time," and "Travellin' Soldier" I knew I was listening to a master songwriter. I bought this CD on a whim at a local record store and quickly fell under its spell. I've since bought copies of all of his CD's and I continue to be impressed. This CD can be hard to find so what are you waiting for? Snatch it up!.
