For me, this is straight up, good country music like I grew up with. My parents and oldest brother were intimately involved in the country scene from the post war 1940's through the 1960's. My brother continued on until the late 1990's. He was a session steel guitar player and also traveled with Loretta Lynn, Cal Smith, Jimmy C. Newman and Stonewall Jackson among others. Someone has posted some nice videos from the early 1980's of Jimmy Newman Grand Ole Oprey appearances and there is a nice one of him doing "Steel Guitar Rag". I still own the Peavy 'Bandit' he is playing through.

I have memories from my early childhood of Oprey stars the likes of Hawkshaw Hawkins, Jimmy Dickens, Wilma Lee and her husband Stoney Cooper, Billy Grammer, Charlie Louvin, Clyde Moody and so many others visiting at our home when they would pass through our hometown during touring.

All that to say that you do a marvelous job of authentically capturing that time period in style and feel and I really enjoy your music and writing.
