Refreshing.......2000-10-08

When I first heard Baillie & the Boys in late 1987 I was immediately impressed by their polished sound and quality of their songs. Although at that time there were many class country acts, Baillie & The Boys stood out among them as being truly unique. A few years later the drought began with mostly unsubstantial singers and, to put it bluntly, songs that insulted the intelligence country music listeners. Unfortunately Baillie & the Boys became obscured by the masses of hype generated by musically ignorant "suits" whose only interest was to feather their own nests. Most people didn't know but Baillie & the Boys never stopped writing and making quality music. With the the release of "The Road That Led Me To You", fans and new listeners alike are treated to country music the way it should be; honest, intelligent without being vague and performed from the heart. This album tells of life, and is presented in a very intimate way. being produced by Michael Bonagura it is not clouded by someone who is on another wavelength, but by one who has been focussed on every song since it's beginning. Kathie Baillie's unique vocal style brings out the warmth in each song. Her ability to use her range and subtle Celtic lilt are a welcome return to expressive singing which has been hard to find in the last few years. The addition of the classic blend of Michael Bonagura's and Alan le Boef's vocals provide a very solid base and at the right times merge seamlessly to provide a wonderful chordal mix that is extremely rare. The acoustic nature of this album lends itself to an intimate session with the band, and at times evokes memories of Peter, Paul & Mary, of music which is heartfelt and has a message relevant to the times in which we live. This is indeed a timeless album. The message of the songs is pure country; life love, broken hearts, joyous times, all delivered by one of the best bands and songwriting teams that we can hope to experience in our lifetime.

Baillie And The Boys are better than ever.......2000-04-26

This is a group I've always loved. They soar, they sail and they take you right along with them. You will be singing every song with them before you've even listened through this album the first time. Kathie's heartbreakingly pure vocals are more angelic than they ever were, and there is this wonderful, heavenly thing that happens when "the boys" add their harmonies. This is a once in a lifetime sound from a one and only group, but as they have proven once again, they can make the magic happen time and time again. Do your heart a favor, and treat your self to this masterpiece of an album. You'll be glad you did. Juni Fisher, Nashville TN

My Ears Say "Thank You"!.......2000-03-29

I admit I have been a long-time fan, but for some reason,after the long hiatus from the last album, I almost forgot how good this group really is !This album is just superb,with Kathie's soaring,crying,caressing,and heart-healing lead vocals better than ever (Is there a more emotional and musically gifted singer in Nashville?--I dont think so.)Listen to "The Moment",an instant classic,and try not to get a chill. Listen to the harmonies from "the boys" on "Far Cry From Him" and tell me if any group, with the possible exception of The Eagles,can make them take flight into heaven like Baillie +the Boys can.And how 'bout the intimacy and sonic perfection of "Nobody Here To Love" ? As Billboard's reviewer said in the latest issue---"If there was any justice in the industry,this would be a platinum album". Pure and simple--if you love beautifully constructed songs, lush harmonies and an indescribably breathtaking female lead, you should check out this gem of an album!!!!

Sweeter than honey!.......2000-03-20

Just when you think that you've heard their best...here they come with one better! Even their old songs demand to be heard again. Kathies voice is stronger and sweeter than ever..when she sings "The Moment" she is really at her best! The harmony of Baillie and the Boys is outstanding!

Best CD I Own.......2000-03-20

Saw Baille and the Boys in Jackpot, Nevada and bought a pre-release copy of this CD in Sept '99. Every song on it is great. I listen to it nearly every day. My favorites are The Road That Led Me to You and Treat Me Like a Stranger. But I do like them all. You won't go wrong if you buy this cd.
