"I got "lucky" the other night on this recommended album. Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys are amazing. I have loved western swing music for a long time, but there have ben few artists who I think have really been able to pull it off well. Next to Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys he's as good as it gets and better yet, he's still alive and swingin' I hope to catch him live soon"

"I loved these guys for a long time and have been lucky enough to see them live many times. This CD captures all the live spirit and fun that guys hae playing western swing. If you're feeling kinda interested, buy it and you'll be real glad you did."
Retro Bob Wills!

"This is the third album of Big Sandy with his Fly Rite Boys. Nice retro western swing, songs are mostly originals. An exception is "Have You Ever Had the Feelin'" which is written by Webb Pierce and the king of western swing Bob Wills. A special guest on this record was Adrian Demain, who recorded with Lee Rocker, Swing Cats, Billy Bacon & Forbidden Pigs and Supersuckers!"
NEW "Classic" western swing!

"This is newly recorded western Swing, but it is bound to be a classic record. The arrangements swing hard, including steel guitar, Sandy's vocals are smooth with a touch of hillbilly boogie. The band falls between western swing, country boogie and rockabilly. An appealing and always swing danceable sound. Esellent music for fans of both swing and rockabilly."
