Good Product, Great Service Would order here again, thanks. I got the CD very quickly, in pristeen condition. Looking for certain songs (and found them) This was typical Jerry Jeff very good I bought it for a few spacific songs And Jerry jeff came through in style. lovin' it Just saw one that said he hates it and pissed me off a bit cuz i love it. Don't have time for a real review. Anyhoo, just wanted to let everyone know it is a great album. Time to hang it up Jerry Jeff JJ has never had a great voice but in the past he has made up for it with his song writing and delivery. After listening to this disc several times I really can't find anything on here that would make me recommend that anyone else buy it. Both fall flat on this album. The songs that he wrote are the weakest of the disc. He has chosen some good songs to cover but you'd be better off hearing them performed by the writers themselves. Particularly disturbing is the version of The Cape, by Guy Clark. This is a well written song very poorly performed. JJ is "helped out" on this one by his son, Django who isn't any better of a singer now than when he appeared on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on Christmas Gonzo Style several years ago. Some of JJ's earlier discs are favorites of mine (Live at Gruene Hall, Navajo Rug) but this one is a waste of time and money. Back in the saddle again! Only Jerry Jeff can make you smile no matter how far life has beaten you down. Jerry Jeff is back with yet another classic cd. "Every Drop of Water" is a classic done in Jerry Jeff's great up-beat style. "Let the Ponies Run" is unforgettable too, a tale about the great rodeo riders of the recent past. "Texas on my Mind" was written by son Django and Jerry Jeff does his son proud. I also especially liked "Candles and Cut Flowers", a tribute to Susan, Jerry Jeff's wife. No husband ever showed his love in song better than JJW. "Alright Guy" is one of those hilarious tales that JJW picked up from another writer and relates it like only he can. Jerry Jeff proves he can still make fun of himself with "The Other Jerry Jeff". All in all, this is yet another great cd from Walker, something his fans have become accustomed to. There are many other "big names" selling cds by the millions, but nobody really does it better and has more loyal fans than Jerry Jeff. I hope he just keeps "carryin' on!".
