CD Reviews

Important Nostalgia
J. Dunkle | Fresno, CA | 08/11/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"When I was about 10 years old in the early forties, there was a song on the radio I just loved. It made me laugh, and in hindsight, I realize it helped form my social consciousness. It had a line " A mouse chawin' on the pantry door, when he gets thru he'll sure be sore, cause ther ain't a durn thing in ther." A few years ago I tried to find it on the web, and only found references by other people who were also looking. A few weeks ago, I looked again, found that the composer and singer was Carson Robison, and discovered that a CD was just coming out featuring him and including my song. He is such an important early coutry/cowboy singer, I can't believe I never heard of him. I've never seen him included in any retropective of this music. Anyway, I love, love, love this CD, and enjoy so much hearing a favorite song of my youth. It has held up well thru the years. I enjoy it just as much now as I did then, and the knowledge of my years enriches it."
