Green Snakes [Extra tracks]

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Until his late-'90s comeback, Johnny Bush was known mainly as the writer of Willie Nelson's "Whiskey River." Though a mysterious vocal disorder in the early '70s interrupted his singing career, Bush has regained his voice and reclaimed his position as king of the honky-tonk barstool. This self-produced collection takes its title from one of Bush's cult classics of the '70s, as "Green Snakes (On the Ceiling)" has since become a Texas roadhouse anthem. The rest of the selection tends toward vintage material, with Bush sampling the songbooks of Floyd Tillman ("Driving Nails in My Coffin"), Harlan Howard ("I Wish I Could Fall in Love Today"), and Hank Locklin ("Glory Train."). The conjunto novelty of "Dos Tacos" and the retro swing of "Nobody's Business (But My Own)" fall comparatively flat, but when Bush applies his still-boyish tenor to ballads as strong as "The Next Voice You Hear" and "He Don't Deserve You Anymore," he shows why he was once billed as "the Country Caruso." --Don McLeese

    I have tried to order this item over the last few days but international deliver was a problem. I then tried to contact the private seller to see if arrangements for an internatinal delivery was possible, but without reply. Today, with a USA contact address, I was going to place the order, but the price has been changed from US$20 to US$50. Are you out of your bracket? What planet are you from. Want it but not at that price.

    5 out of 5 stars Green Snakes.......2001-11-29

    Great album with some new songs but in the classic Johnny Bush style. John has picked some good material and really delivers on this one. Excellent fiddle and steel work on the whole CD typical of Johnny Bush recordings, Bobby Flore's fiddle playing is as good as it gets. There are four songs on this CD using jazz guitarist Jackie King that is a smaller group that really swings and Jackies playing is absolutely killer. Fantastic overall record!!
