Down at the Sky-Vue Drive-In

Amazon.com
Texas Music Hall of Famer Don Walser croons, yodels, and rocks his way into your heart on his latest release from Sire Records. Skillfully blending true country and western, honky-tonk, and western swing, Walser moves through this set of classic covers with the authority of a roadhouse veteran dead set on satisfying every dancer in the joint before last call.

Walser likes to call his music "Top 40 music that's 40 years old," but fans of old-time country aren't the only ones who will find their feet moving when Walser struts his Lone Star stuff. Anyone with a taste for sincerity, melody, and spirit served Texas-style will find Down at the Sky-Vue Drive-In irresistible. Forty years old, indeed--Don Walser makes it all sound brand-new. --Dominique D'Anna

Don Walser's Best.......2004-04-24

I admit, I'm biased. I don't think Don Walser can do anything wrong. I met him at a show in San Francisco and he is the sweetest, most unassuming guy in the world. I'm so glad I went to see him, because I hear he's not performing any more - our loss.
This is a richly textured, heartfelt CD. From the funny and rockin' Hot Rod Mercury, to the lovely, quirky Rose Marie (with the Kronos Quartet - go figure) every song is a gem. His voice is big and joyful and he's got some great western talent accompanying him. This CD gets better with each listening.

This record will please any true music lover........1999-04-20

This has got to be my favorite Walser album ever.He just gets better with every record.I've seen Him live many times,from honky tonks to punk venues.He attracks them all,from cowboys to the tattooed and pierced crowd,college kids to grand parents.This man breaks down musical barriers.If you hate country but are a fan of good honest music, GET this album and go see Him live,especially at a punk venue.

wast of money to buy and wast of time to listen to........1998-12-02

I bought this un-herd what a waste, he ( sounds like he looks) nerd all the way and has no bussines trying to sing 40 year old music in the Top 40. The music is on the mark but his voice dose not belong with it. Spend your money on RED FOLEY or CLAUD KING.

I really like this album!.......1998-11-18

I wish my guitar pickin' grandpa were still alive to hear this album. It's great- and I don't like "country" music (except for the kind like "I Took a Right Turn Down the Wrong Road to Losers' Paradise":! What rhythm, soul and melody. Thank-you NPR for featuring this wonderful man and his music and making us aware that his great music was out there. This is my Christmas present to myself, I love it!

Real Texas music from one of the best traditionalist........1998-08-21

Something for everyone, Marie as Western Swing! Ramon for those who sing all their life and are never recogonized. Real contry, Please Help Me, I'm Falling. Bob Wills to Rose Marie...neat. One of Don's best.
