Nearly 25 years after their last album together (1982's A Taste of Yesterday's Wine), the Possum and the Hag reunite... with a twist. This time, they sing each other's songs. The conceit can be dangerous unless you're playing it for laughs, e.g., Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley on the former's 1960 television special. But though Jones puts more emotion into interpreting Haggard's songs than Hag reciprocates, these two old legends manage to pull it off. And with the help of producer Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson), they keep the music solid, too, spotlighting steel guitar great Norm Hamlet and celebrated piano sideman Pigg Robbins, who played on many of their original recordings. Jones particularly shines on "The Way I Am," and Haggard proves sublime on "I Always Get Lucky with You." Where the album really lights up, however, is on the duo's pocketful of duets, starting with a poignant and intensely resonant rendition of Haggard's classic aging-musician ballad, "Footlights." Surprisingly, the repertoire never seems tired, and there's a surprise around every corner: Rhonda Vincent adding splendid harmonies on Haggard's new "Born to the Blues" and Jones turning transcendent on a confessional line about being "crazy and lonely." Just as these ragged masters take their leave, they put a little more Western in Duke Ellington's swing ("Don't Get Around Much Anymore"), filling in the middle with a warm, nostalgic banter that reminds listeners just how much these two have seen and done. Who knew hard-luck autobiography could sound so exquisite? --Alanna Nash

Album Description

On this disc the two country music icons take turns singing the other's hit songs. On four songs they team up on duets. The end result is an historic recording enhanced with stellar production by Keith Stegall and an all-star band.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME !!!!!!!!.......2007-06-29

Don't get me wrong! I didn't mean don't waste your time listenning to this album because it is not good. I just want to tell all of you to run out and get this piece of gem right now, by all mean neccessary. There's no need to read the reviews....just believe me.

im suprised ........2007-06-21

as i heard this album i was taken back . For in recent yrs jones voice has sounded like he has a renewed spark . LIKE A DANCER with a new step. i seen him in concert last yr and oh my he sounded wonderful . and never missed a note . just awesomwe . And merle on the other hand has lost a step . BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID merle missing a step is still better then most artist on tour now on thier best day . WITH only 4 people with many yrs under thier belts still doing what they do so well left touring . JONES .MERLE .WILLIE . AND HANK JR . i WAS thinking MERLE CANT DO GEORGE JONES songs .As no one can sing jones songs . AS WAYLON SANG .(WRONG ) YES I ADMIT i was wrong . merle was great on this outing . george on the other hand was very good . So the one i thought would be the stronger of the two was not . Now im not saying mr jones was lost on this album . But merle was the merle of old . But jones can sing anything so he got away with being different on this album .Like getting in the ring with a great fighter known for his right hook . SO YOU WATCH out for that right hook . and get knocked out with the left . HOPE they tour together this yr.

If you read the bio of Gary Stewart you will enjoy this CD even more. I have always been a fan and was missing the title song on this CD and bought it for that reason. I was not disappointed with any of the other songs on this CD. If you like Gary Stewart you will love this CD.

Guitar players often buy albums to hear other guitar players such as Jeff Beck. Jim Welder has come up with a truly rockin' & honky tonk guitar player's must have album. Jim has the touch. This is an album you can hear an unprocessed raw to sweet REAL guitar playing. What you hear is his touch and feeling singing...
Besides the playing the recording is so well done, open and airy. Play on, dream on.............

Thank you Jim for a wonderful album.

A CROCKPOT FULL OF HONEY AND DYNAMITE.......2001-06-07

Crank it up and wipe that grin off your face. This album really cooks and Weider plays from the bottom of his heart. He is on his way up there with Hendrix, Vaughn and company.

Where has this been ?.......2000-06-16

Where has this album been? Recently picked up this album on a fluke and was literally blown away. Jim Weider and the Honky Tonk Gurus is a masterpiece. Rarely can one be treated to the guitar expertease - no pun intended - that is demonstrated here. Mr. Weider's guitar sings with a blues/rock sound that resonates outward and if not careful right to your car's accelerator. Randy Ciarlante provides excellent drum work which only serves to heighten the experience. Also out is a collaboration of Eric Clapton and B.B. King but the real shame is that it is Jimmy's sound that echos in your ear. To live one should enjoy good food, good friends, and a richness of experience -- and all to the soundtrack that THE HONKEY TONK GURUS HAVE PROVIDED.

"BIGFOOT" IS BIG ROCK!.......2000-06-13

JIM WEIDER AND THE HONKY TONK GURUS HAVE GOT IT ALL ON THIS MASTERPIECE. 'BIGFOOT' IS STRAIGHT-TO-THE-HEART ROOTS ROCK THAT TAKES JIM WEIDER AND DRUMMER/VOCALIST RANDY CIARLANTE CATAPULTING FROM THEIR MANY YEARS WITH 'THE BAND' TO NEW HEIGHTS. WEIDER'S HAUNTING GUITAR ON 'DEEPEST CUT' BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE AND AT THE SAME TIME, A TEAR TO MY EYES. 'LITTLE MISS LOVER' IS SCORCHING AND SOULFULL WHILE NEW 'ORLEANS BOOGIE' MAKES EVEN THE WALLFLOWERS WANNA JUMP TO THE DANCE FLOOR. 'LOVE IS LIKE RAIN' IS REMINISCENT OF SOME CLASSICS THAT WEIDER WROTE FOR THE BAND LIKE HIS 'REMEDY' FROM THE 'JERICHO' ALBUM. BUY THIS SOON TO BE CLASSIC IMMEDIATELY AND PUT IT IN YOUR COLLECTION NEXT TO THE LIKES OF ERIC CLAPTON AND STEVIE RAY VAUGHN. THEY'D BOTH BE IN GOOD COMPANY.

not just any band.......2000-06-10

after hearing Jim Weider's 1st solo cd, since The Band stopped recording,,i was a fan for life. His guitar stylings & Randy Ciarlante's rhythmic leadership make for a great great piece of music. Richard Bell, & all their other friends just add spice to some blistering original tunes,,,& a reworking of some friendly old friends,,, please, if you are a TELECASTER fan, jimmy is the BEST,, & the entire package is a must,,, Randy's vocals, harmonies & groove show he was "paying attention "when he sat next to & behind some of the best musicians ever,, Levon Helm & Rick Danko,,,

But BIG FOOT is an ORIGINAL album,, get it, you'll see,,,,

Originally released in 1966, instrumental versions of 'Only You (Can Break My Heart)' & 'My Heart Skips a Beat' are added as bonus tracks on this Sundazed Records reissue. 1995.

Customer Reviews:

You're as good as gone, or my name ain't John........2007-03-02

This album by Buck Owens and his Buckaroos was recorded between May and August 1965. Somewhat unusually, there were no hit songs on the album, since none of the songs were released as singles. Which doesn't imply a lack of quality in the songs, because most of them are quite good. Buck himself sings eight original songs. Guitarist Don Rich and bassist Doyle Holly sing one song each. And there are two instrumentals; one being a fiddle instrumental and the other being a steel guitar instrumental. The CD adds two bonus tracks, which are instrumental versions of Buck's hits played by the Buckaroos and featured on the album The Buck Owens Songbook. This is another solid CD that will appeal to Buck's fans.

A solid document of the Buckaroos at their peak.......2003-11-29

Given their touring schedule, it's a wonder that the Buckaroos were able to knock out such a steady stream of high-quality albums throughout the sixties. They did it in large part by recording when they could, and collecting up tracks to make albums later on. This is an example of just such an album, collecting a dozen tracks recorded throughout 1965 for a February 1966 album release.

Unusually, the album has no tent-pole singles, leaving it a star shy of 5, but it still provides a terrific slice of the Bakersfield sound. The Telecasters twang, the steel weeps, and Owens and Rich wrap their voices around each other with effortless ease. Several of the album's highlights are instrumental tracks, including the fiddle-driven "Cajun Fiddle," and the steel spotlight, "Tom Cattin'." The bulk of the disc is taken up by new Owens compositions, written solo, with his pal Red Simpson, and with his former wife, Bonnie.

Owens voice was at its peak during the mid-60s, and just about everything he laid it on is worth hearing. He's brilliant on weepers like "He Don't Deserve You Anymore," "That's What I'm Like Without You," and the steel-lined "Cinderella," and shines on the joyous title track and upbeat "There Never Was a Fool." Don Rich pitches in to sing lead on his own "I'm Layin' It On the Line," and bassist Doyle Holly sings "After You Leave Me."

A few of the tracks are a bit lighter-weight (e.g., "We Split the Blanket"), but anyone who's seen Owens live knows that a sense of humor is a big part of his show. There are many fine sides to be found here, and the combination of serious, silly and joyous is a lot like the Buckaroos' set list to this very day. Sundazed's reissue adds instrumental versions of "Only You (Can Break My Heart)" and "My Heart Skips a Beat," both culled from "The Buck Owens Songbook" album.

Classic 1966 album on CD.......2003-08-16

I have been collecting records for almost 30 years and one of the first albums of Bucks I found was this one. It showcases Buck and the Buckaroos at the height of their popularity. Buck and Don Richs perfect harmony is here, along with Dons fiddle and Tom Brumleys steel guitar. There is solos from Doyle Holly and multi-talented Don Rich. A good album which ironically contains no hits but still a gem. Vintage west coast country with a couple of bonus tracks.

When these two comrades of California roots music get together, sailing sparks always seem to follow. As a sequel to 1996's Bakersfield Bound, Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen reunite with the hot-picking members of their legendary Desert Rose Band to find common ground between bluegrass, Cajun, honky-tonk, Tex-Mex, and country rock. Though neither is a hall-of-fame lead singer, their proficient, brotherly harmonies galvanize these excellent originals--six by Hillman, two by Pedersen--and standards by folks like Roger Miller, Ray Price, and the Louvin Brothers. And on their urgent version of the Monroe Brothers' "Old Cross Road" they really do sound like kin separated at birth. Though Hillman and Pedersen sing and play with a mastery conferred by 40 years in traditional and not-so-traditional country music, they haven't lost the passion or thrill of musical discovery. --Roy Kasten

Customer Reviews:

Hillman & Perersen are a Class Act........2005-07-02

These best buddies really compliment each other.Especially with a few of their friends in tow.Well balanced CD.The music flows along nicely.Not one of those cd's where you press the buttons
to skip to the good ones.Really has a great mix of country rock,bluegrass and folk.You'll not be disappointed.

Roots of country rock . . ........2005-01-17

What comes through loud and clear in this wonderfully retro album of songs is Hillman and Pedersen's deep affection for a whole range of country's musical traditions. There are some of their originals here and several oldies ("Save the Last Dance for Me," "No Longer a Sweetheart of Mine") and compositions by Roger Miller and the Louvin Brothers. One song with a rockin' backbeat, "Our Love It Don't Come Easy" has a great contemporary sound, but mostly this is the sound of the 1950s country music that inspired Hillman and Pedersen's 1970s country rock.

Singing in harmony, they can sound like the Everly Brothers, especially in a rockabilly number like "There You Go" and "Problems." The dance-able "Invitation to the Blues" gives a nod to Buck Owens. Hillman's yearning "Better Man Than That" pays homage to every heartfelt song of romance and regret ever played on a honky-tonk jukebox. "The Old Cross Road" is unadulterated fire-and-brimstone country gospel, and then Pedersen's "Sugar Cane" is pure bluegrass. Meanwhile, "That's the Way It Was" is full of Cajun flourishes. And on and on.

The range of country styles, sentiments, old songs and new, the excellent studio musicians (including an accordian), and the great harmony singing of these two greats of California country rock make this a CD to listen to over and over. The CD comes with a 16-page booklet with song lyrics, pictures of Hillman and Pedersen as boys, and an appreciation by author Alan Rockman.

McCabe's #3 - Chris Hillman & Herb Pederson 01-10-2003.......2003-01-11

This is review number 3 - I went to the late show (10:00pm) and I wish this concert could have gone on 'til 2am. Chris and Herb (With "Dan" from the old Desert Rose Band on bass) were superb!! For most of this particular concert, Chris and Herb featured material from this new album. My favorites would be "No Longer A Sweetheart of Mine", "There You Go", Better Man Than That" and a fine remake of the old Bluegrass staple "Old Cross Roads". They came across very fluid (And cracking odd jokes-poking fun at each other, etc.) Toward the end, Chris got a little nostalgic from The Byrds days by playing "Mr Tambourine Man" "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Eight Miles High" - Amazing. All on his mandolin too!! (Not a bass to be seen!!) The encore included an old song from his Burrito Bros. days and then he picked up his guitar and played the final song - a cover of the 70's Firefall classic "It Doesn't Matter" in an sweet acoustic folk-rock style that no one could duplicate. All in all, a great concert. Got to meet the group after the show, Chris had signed my copy of "Way Out West" with this inscription "Joe, All The Best - Chris Hillman". Thank You for EVERYTHING, Chris and Herb!! JG "The Bear"

chris and herb come up short..........2002-10-17

I have mixed feelings about this album. In all fairness, it isn't a bad effort. It's just that when I pay money for recorded music I hope that it will possess two qualities: innovation and enthusiasm. This album missed the mark in both respects. Chris has an average singing voice that doesn't offend the ears and Herb hits some good high notes. What disappointed me most was Hillman's mandolin playing. He has an odd style of picking that someone taught him about forty years ago and he has never progressed with it. This album has some really good musicians. Too bad one of them didn't take over the mandolin chores.

go west young man!.......2002-07-17

Simply put, this is excellent country rock, bluegrass, folk music. Good picking is good picking and this is good pickin! This matches or exceeds other Hillman solo cd's and is as good as anything done by the Desert Rose Band. No songs really stand out, but taken as a whole, this is a quality listen. This is what quality music is all about. Too bad there isn't more out there like this...Enjoy.

Cart Butler stays true to the classic approach.......2007-04-10

Carl Butler had to hide the fact that he was an American Indian. But this did not stop his enthusiasitc approach to country and western music, stripped down to its basic sound and tempo. This may sound ponderous to the uninitiated, but several listenings to Carl's tracks will help them appreciate the subtlety in his voice and his heartfelt attraction to the melodies and lyrics of classic C and W.

It might be easier to appreciate Carl if fans of C and W would listen to the progression and leap of music such as Carl's from the earlier efforts of the Carter family. They took traditional music of the hills of Appalachia and translated it into their own versions, which added depth and musical notes and rhythm changes.

Carl then takes the next step to "traditional" C and W with his unvarnished but emotion-filled approach. I recommend any afficianado of county and western and its roots include Carl Butler in his/her collection. This disc is a very good choice that shows Carl at his best.

The Founding Duet .......2006-07-12

When I walk around the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, I tend to notice who isn't in the Hall yet. Male-Female duets became a staple of Country Music in the late 1960s and 1970s--George & Tammy, Porter & Dolly, Conway & Loretta--but if you want to hear the duet style's roots, you start with Carl and Pearl Butler. This CD is not a collection of the original versions of these titles, but a compilation of remakes done during the 1970s. But these sides hold up pretty well and until the originals are packaged this nicely, this is a good place to start listening to the Butlers. For those who haven't heard the Butlers, their style is hard honky tonk style with nice tight harmonies. Lots of fiddle and steel guitar here, the way it should be. Carl was a fine honky tonk singer and deserves more than the footnote mentions he usually gets. Treat yourself and listen to Carl and Pearl, if your heart has ever been broken, you will know their genius. And you too will wonder why they aren't in the Hall yet.

Not for this price.......2002-04-12

This is an alright album. Nothing major. Not even an album of big hits. Just an recording made in the early 1970's. The notes are good, but I wish this was a 26 song CD of their big songs. My advice: Save your money until a better CD is released.

Great.......1999-04-28

Album Description

While Hank Williams graced country music's stage for only a few years, his legacy included a huge list of new standards and a new definition of success. Best remembered for hits such as "Move it On Over," "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "Lovesick Blues," Williams' brief career also included playing the guitar and writing songs. Whether you're a fan from the golden days or just being introduced to this cornerstone of country music, you'll enjoy this heartfelt recreation of a legend. Trikont. 2005.

A Forgotten Artist.......2007-01-23

Bob Gallion is a name that is rarely heard although his music, after one listen, is unforgettable. This Bear Family release (who else?) is a 20-Song CD of some of the very finest Honky-Tonk music you'll ever hear. Bob's voice is distinct, and just why he never made it big remains a mystery. Although there isn't a bad song in the bunch, there are some real standouts, including: "Hey Mr Bartender", "That's What I Tell My Heart", and his biggest single "You Take the Table, I'll Take the Chairs". There's also a few covers, including, "Hey Joe", which Carl Smith made famous; "Run Boy", a Ray Price number; and "No One Will Ever Know", a song Gene Watson would later make his own. The sound is superb on this release. A fine set of liner notes are included, as is the Bear Family practice. You wont regret buying this one.
